Good To Know

Q: How many wrist pin bearings do I need for a rebuild? A: A single cylinder engine needs one bearing, so order one per piston you are replacing during the top end rebuild.

Q: Should this bearing be replaced whenever the piston is changed? A: Yes, since it is a wear item that carries the wrist pin, replacing it along with the piston keeps the assembly reliable.

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