MAHLE 001PL19619000 Connecting Rod Bearings

Description

Engine Bearings, also known as Connecting Rod Bearings, are crucial components within the engine's crankcase, specifically supporting the crankshaft. These bearings facilitate smooth rotational movement, reducing friction and wear between the connecting rods and the crankshaft journals. Manufactured by MAHLE with MPN 001PL19619000, these bearings are designed for optimal performance and durability. They feature precision engineering to minimize oil consumption and maximize engine efficiency, ensuring a longer service life and enhanced power output. Dimensions are 35 x 75 x 122 mm, and the country of origin is Brazil.

Key Features & Benefits

These little guys sit between your connecting rods and the crankshaft journal—that’s where the rod attaches to the crankshaft. They allow those parts to move smoothly against each other. Think of them like a cushion, or even a really precise sliding surface. They’re designed to handle a lot of force from the pistons firing, and they turn that up – and – down motion into the rotational power that actually drives your wheels. They aren’t just about letting things move, though; they also maintain proper oil pressure and help keep everything aligned. Basically, they’re a critical part of what lets your engine run. Without them, you’d have metal – on – metal contact and things would seize up pretty quickly. They’re inside the engine, right at the heart of it all, working constantly. They work alongside the main bearings to ensure the crankshaft spins freely and efficiently.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These bearings wear out over time, especially if you don't keep up with oil changes. You’ll notice if they start to go bad because you’ll get a knocking sound coming from the engine—a pretty distinct, rhythmic knock that gets louder as the engine speed increases. If you ignore it, things can get really bad, really fast—like, total engine failure bad. They act like a shield, protecting expensive parts from damage. Replacing them when they’re worn prevents bigger, more costly repairs down the road. You can find a good selection of connecting rod bearings at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re usually replaced as a set to ensure everything is balanced. Ignoring worn bearings is just asking for trouble, honestly.
