Connecting rod bearing housings are installed in internal combustion engines and are mainly designed to carry out the bearing function of the connecting rods.

In particular, the piston sets the maximum width within certain limits. For this reason, connecting rod bearings are used, they are characterized by high strength and wear resistance.

The terms of connecting rod bearings usage

With proper maintenance, especially in terms of engine oil, the connecting MAHLE ORIGINAL brand Big End Bearings should achieve a life of up to 300,000 kilometers under optimal conditions. Worn, defective or damaged connecting rod bearings can only occur when working with connecting rod bearings, if the engine is running with too little oil, with too little oil pressure, or with diluted or heavily contaminated engine oil. Especially if the engine oil and / or oil filter change interval is too long, the required oil or lubricating film can crack and the bearings end up in direct contact with the crankshaft due to the larger connecting rod bearing play.
