Good To Know

Q: How do I know when this wrist pin bearing needs replacing? A: Knocking noises, low compression, or metal debris in the top end usually point to a worn bearing. It is commonly replaced during any piston or ring service.

Q: Does this bearing require special installation tools? A: No special press is normally needed, but the piston pin should slide through smoothly with the bearing seated squarely in the rod. Check clearance against your service manual before assembly.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
