CONNECTING ROD HALF-BEARING

CONNECTING ROD HALF-BEARING

Product Description:

Maserati part number 280327 is a connecting rod half bearing. It is a thin metal liner that is fitted between the crankshaft and the connecting rod. The purpose of the connecting rod half bearing is to reduce friction and wear between these two moving parts.

The connecting rod half bearing is a critical part of the engine. It is responsible for supporting the connecting rod and allowing it to rotate smoothly around the crankshaft. If the connecting rod half bearing fails, it can cause serious damage to the engine.

The connecting rod half bearing is typically made of a soft metal, such as babbitt or copper-lead. This type of metal is conformal, meaning that it can conform to the shape of the crankshaft and connecting rod, even when they are under load. This helps to reduce friction and wear.

The connecting rod half bearing is also coated with a thin layer of oil. This oil helps to lubricate the bearing and further reduce friction.

The connecting rod half bearing is a critical part of the engine and should be replaced regularly. The specific replacement interval will vary depending on the engine make and model, but it is typically recommended to replace the connecting rod half bearings every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.

If you are experiencing any engine problems, such as knocking or rattling, it is important to have your engine inspected by a qualified mechanic. The mechanic will be able to determine if the connecting rod half bearings need to be replaced.
