Built for Real Farm Work
These bearings are designed for Perkins diesel engines that power everything from utility tractors to combines. Whether your engine’s running a loader all day or pulling a heavy disc through tough ground, these bearings provide the load-carrying capacity and durability that diesel work demands.
Made to Last
Quality connecting rod bearings are critical to engine longevity. These are manufactured with the right bearing material composition to handle the constant pounding of diesel combustion while maintaining proper oil film thickness. The precision manufacturing ensures consistent clearances that protect your freshly rebuilt crankshaft.
Installation Notes
These undersized bearings require a crankshaft that’s been properly ground .030 under on the rod journals. Always check clearances with Plastigage before final assembly, and make sure your connecting rods are straight and properly sized. Use assembly lube on initial startup to prevent dry-start damage.
