Crankshaft Bearing Shell Set

This crankshaft bearing set from Kolbenschmidt ensures the smooth rotation of the crankshaft within your engine block. We offer this specific set for the Mercedes-Benz OM642 V6 engine which is a widely used 6-cylinder diesel powerplant. The kit features specialized sputter bearings specifically designed for the cap side. This distinction is critical because the cap side often endures the highest combustion forces during operation.

These bearings reduce friction between moving parts and support the crankshaft under heavy pressure. The sputter coating technology offers significantly higher load carrying capacity and wear resistance compared to conventional bearing materials. By maintaining a stable oil film and precise clearance, this set helps prevent engine damage and ensures efficient power transfer. You rely on these robust components to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses inside the crankcase over the lifespan of the vehicle.

Kolbenschmidt manufactures this component with supplier code 77826610. It fits a wide range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the OM642 engine. This includes extensive applications across the Sprinter series, E-Class, C-Class, and robust SUVs like the GLE, M-Class, and G-Class. When performing this repair, you should also verify the condition of your fasteners. We recommend checking the main bearing bolts referenced as WG1814248 and WG1814247 for a complete installation. This set delivers the exact specifications required for a reliable engine rebuild.
