Crankshaft Bearing Set

This crankshaft bearing set from Kolbenschmidt provides essential support for the rotating assembly in your engine. It is specifically designed for 6-cylinder configurations to ensure stability and reduce friction during operation. The kit utilizes advanced sputter technology on the cap side of the bearings. This specialized coating allows the component to withstand higher mechanical loads and thermal stress compared to standard materials. The set is identified by supplier code 77826600.

By maintaining the correct oil clearance and supporting the crankshaft, these bearings prevent metal-to-metal contact and ensure efficient power transmission. The inclusion of sputter bearings on the cap side addresses the specific load patterns found in V6 engines. This design choice significantly enhances the durability of the bearing surface under high pressure. When performing an overhaul, you should verify if you require additional main bearing bolts, such as WG1814248 and WG1814247, to complete the assembly correctly.

Kolbenschmidt produces this set specifically for the Mercedes-Benz OM642 V6 engine family. It fits a vast array of vehicles including the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, E-Class, S-Class, and CLS. You can also install this part in various SUV models like the G-Class, GLK, and ML-Class, as well as compatible Chrysler vehicles. This broad compatibility makes it a vital component for maintaining various models within the Mercedes-Benz lineup.
