2882087 | Cummins ISX Connecting Rod Bearing, New (3686435) Fractured rod

Diesel engine rod bearings are a type of bearing that is located between the connecting rod and the crankshaft in an engine. The rod bearings provide a smooth and efficient transfer of power from the engine to the transmission and wheels. They help to reduce friction and wear between the rotating parts of the engine, which ultimately improves the engine's performance and longevity.

 

Rod bearings are typically made of a high-strength alloy material, such as steel or copper, and are designed to withstand the high pressure and heat generated by the engine during operation. However, over time, the bearings can wear down due to normal use, as well as other factors such as poor maintenance, poor lubrication, or contamination.

 

When rod bearings start to wear down, it can lead to a number of problems, including increased engine noise, reduced performance, and even engine failure. To prevent these issues, it is important to have your rod bearings inspected regularly by a professional mechanic and replaced as needed. The exact timing for replacement will depend on several factors, including the type of engine, the age and condition of the vehicle, and the driving conditions. Generally, it is recommended to replace rod bearings every 100,000 to 150,000 miles or sooner if any signs of wear or damage are present.
