Good To Know

Q: How do I know this bearing fits my engine? A: Check your machine's year and displacement against the fitment list, and confirm the old bearing dimensions match. Serial number differences can affect fit, so verify before ordering.

Q: Can this be installed without splitting the cases? A: Yes, a wrist pin bearing is normally replaced during a top end service with the cylinder removed. It is not a press fit, so it installs on the rod small end by hand.

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