Suitable for MAN Buses 
MAN N1014004313 main bearing
Description
The 
MAN main bearing is a critical component within the engine's crankcase, specifically supporting the crankshaft. It facilitates smooth rotational movement of the crankshaft, reducing friction and wear. This bearing is designed for optimal performance and durability within high-stress engine environments. With dimensions of 30 x 110 x 110 mm and a MAN MPN of N1014004313, this bearing ensures reliable engine operation and extends component lifespan.
Key Features & Benefits
These are basically the support system for your engine’s crankshaft. Think of the crankshaft as the main rotating part that turns all the energy into movement. The main bearings sit between the crankshaft and the engine block, providing a smooth, low – friction surface for it to spin on. They're really just precision – made, hardened metal rings. There's usually several of them, spaced along the length of the crankshaft.
Without these, your engine just wouldn't run smoothly, if at all. They keep everything aligned and stable. They allow the crankshaft to spin freely, which is obviously essential for powering the vehicle. They handle a lot of stress and weight from the engine’s internal forces. It’s a critical piece in turning the pistons’ up – and – down motion into the rotational power that gets your wheels turning.
Symptoms, Risks & Replacements
They’re important because they take a beating! Constant pressure, heat, and friction are always working on them. Over time, they can wear down. When they do, you’ll start hearing knocking sounds coming from the engine, especially under load. It’s usually a deep, rhythmic knock. If you ignore it, it can lead to really serious engine damage—like a thrown rod, which is a major repair. Replacing them is preventative maintenance or part of a larger engine rebuild. You’ll notice if they’re going bad; it won’t be a quiet issue. We carry a good selection of main bearings, and you can often find what you need quickly on a site like Fixparts Online. It's a small part, but it acts like a shield for the rest of your engine, and keeping them in good shape can save you a lot of money and trouble down the road.
