Frequently Asked Questions
This connecting rod bearing fits the big end of the connecting rod and provides the wear surface between the rod and crankshaft journal, allowing smooth rotation under load. Blue grade denotes a specific bearing thickness so the correct grade must be chosen from the workshop manual to achieve the correct oil clearance. Bearings can fail through wear or scoring, often showing as rod knock or metal contamination in the oil, so inspect if any abnormal noise or debris is present.
