Connecting Rod Bearing Set

We offer this connecting rod bearing set from Kolbenschmidt to facilitate smooth rotation between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. This component plays a vital role in reducing friction and supporting the moving parts within the engine block. It ensures that the connecting rods move freely without generating excessive heat or wear during operation.

The set is manufactured with specific technical characteristics designed for engine rebuilding projects. It features an oversize dimension of +0.50 mm. You specifically use this size when the crankshaft journals have been ground down to remove damage or wear. Furthermore, the bearings on the rod side are equipped with a "sputter" coating. This specialized coating provides exceptional strength and durability to withstand the high combustion pressures found in modern engines.

By installing this oversized set, you restore the correct oil clearance and ensure reliable lubrication pressure throughout the system. This prevents potential engine failure caused by direct contact between metal surfaces. Kolbenschmidt produces this component under supplier code 77972620.

This bearing set is compatible with a vast array of Mercedes Benz vehicles. It fits numerous series including the Sprinter, V Class, Vito, C Class, and E Class. The application list also extends to the Jeep Compass. Due to the specific +0.50 mm oversize specification, you must confirm that the crankshaft has been machined to match these dimensions before installation.
