Description
When you’re hearing that telltale rod knock or your engine’s losing compression during those long field days, it’s time for an overhaul. This .020 inch undersized connecting rod bearing is exactly what you need when your crankshaft has been machined down during rebuild. When your engine starts to develop knocking sounds, loses power, or shows signs of excessive wear during operation, worn connecting rod bushes are often part of the problem. This small end bush ensures smooth piston movement and proper engine operation under the demanding conditions of agricultural and industrial work. An undersized bearing compensates for the material removed during crankshaft grinding, bringing everything back to proper clearances.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-manufactured .020 inch undersize for properly machined crankshafts
- Manufactured to handle the constant reciprocating motion and loads that occur in diesel engine operation
- Designed to work with proper lubrication to provide smooth piston pin movement while resisting wear from the high pressures and temperature cycling that come with diesel combustion
- Direct replacement during engine overhauls – no modifications needed
Built for Diesel Engine Rebuilds
Deutz FL912 and FL913 air-cooled diesel engines are workhorses found in a wide range of agricultural and industrial equipment including tractors, construction machinery, generators, water pumps, and material handling equipment. These reliable engines are known for their durability, easy maintenance, and ability to operate in harsh conditions worldwide. This bearing works in engines that power everything from utility tractors to heavy-duty field equipment.
Made to Last
Quality bushes like this one are essential for maintaining proper engine clearances, reducing vibration, and ensuring long engine life between overhauls. The bearing material is engineered to handle the heat cycles, pressure spikes, and continuous operation that diesel engines deliver season after season.
Installation Notes
Installation requires complete engine disassembly and is typically performed during major engine overhauls along with other wear components like bearings, rings, and gaskets. The bush must be properly sized and fitted using precision reaming or honing to achieve correct piston pin clearances. Make sure your machine shop has properly sized the crankshaft to .020 undersize before installation. This bearing only works with a crankshaft that’s been ground down – it won’t fit a standard size journal.
