Porsche 924S - 1986 to 1988
Porsche 944 - 1982 to 1991
Porsche 968 - 1992 to 1995
Diagram Ref No 8
This is the ideal choice for engine rebuilds, performance refreshes, or preventative maintenance, restoring factory oil pressure, crankshaft alignment, and smooth engine operation.
• Location: Connecting-rod big-end journal to crankshaft interface
• Function: Maintains oil film support for the crankshaft and absorbs combustion loads transferred through the rod assembly
• Set Contents: 8 bearing shells (4 rods / V8 engine)
• Replacement Interval: At rebuild or low oil-pressure diagnosis
• Benefits OEM fit, precise clearances, durable film strength, quiet operation
• Installation: Fit as matched pairs per rod; use assembly lube and torque to spec
Rod bearings endure constant load, heat, and oil pressure, which causes gradual wear or fatigue over time. This can result in low oil pressure, knocking noises, or even engine damage. It’s essential to replace them during an engine rebuild, crankshaft service, or whenever oil analysis shows metal debris or pressure loss. Installing a new set restores precise oil clearance, consistent pressure, and long-term reliability in the engine’s bottom end.

Main bearings are critical internal engine components positioned between the crankshaft main journals and the engine crankcase. They support the crankshaft as it rotates and provide a precisely controlled running surface that allows the crankshaft to operate smoothly on a pressurised film of engine oil. Correct bearing clearances are essential for maintaining oil pressure, reducing friction, controlling crankshaft movement, and protecting both the crankshaft and crankcase.

Main bearings are critical internal engine components positioned between the crankshaft main journals and the engine crankcase. They support the crankshaft as it rotates and provide a precisely controlled running surface that allows the crankshaft to operate smoothly on a pressurised film of engine oil. Correct bearing clearances are essential for maintaining oil pressure, reducing friction, controlling crankshaft movement, and protecting both the crankshaft and crankcase.
What This Product Does:
- Support the crankshaft within the engine crankcase.
- Provide a controlled running surface for the crankshaft main journals.
- Allow the crankshaft to rotate smoothly on a lubricating oil film.
- Help maintain correct crankshaft alignment.
- Help control crankshaft radial movement.
- Support correct crankshaft end float where applicable.
- Reduce direct metal-to-metal contact between the crankshaft and crankcase.
- Help maintain correct engine oil clearances and lubrication.
- Withstand substantial combustion and rotational loads.
- Provide steel-backed construction for strength and dimensional stability.
- Replace worn or unsuitable main bearings during an engine rebuild.
- Suit compatible VW Type 4 and Porsche 914 engine applications.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Low engine oil pressure.
- Oil pressure warning appearing at idle or when the engine is hot.
- Deep knocking or rumbling noises from the lower engine.
- Excessive crankshaft movement or end float.
- Metallic particles or bearing material found in the engine oil.
- Metallic debris discovered in the oil filter or strainer.
- Abnormal crankshaft journal wear.
- Scoring, pitting, or discolouration of existing bearing surfaces.
- Excessive bearing clearance discovered during engine measurement.
- Reduced oil pressure following engine warm-up.
- Evidence of bearing overheating or oil starvation.
- Engine seizure or significant internal damage in severe cases.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Main bearings are fundamental to engine reliability because they support the crankshaft every time the engine operates. The crankshaft is subjected to substantial forces generated by combustion, piston movement, and rotational speed. The bearings must maintain a precise lubricated clearance while supporting these loads.
- As main bearings wear, their running clearance can increase. Excessive clearance may reduce oil pressure and allow increased crankshaft movement, potentially causing knocking, accelerated journal wear, and deterioration of other internal engine components.
- Severely worn or damaged bearings can lose their protective oil film and allow metal-to-metal contact between the bearing and crankshaft journal. This can generate excessive heat, score the crankshaft, damage the crankcase, contaminate the lubrication system with metallic debris, and ultimately result in major engine failure.
- Correct bearing sizing is particularly important when rebuilding a VW Type 4 or Porsche 914 engine. If the crankshaft has been reground or the crankcase has been align-bored, standard-size bearings may no longer provide the required clearances. The correct bearing specification must therefore be selected according to actual crankshaft and crankcase measurements.
- Replacing worn components with the correct OE Match Steel Backed Main Bearings – 021198493AOST, 021198495AOST, 021198491AOST, 021198483AT, 021198485AT, 021198487AT, or 021198481AT helps restore correct crankshaft support, bearing clearance, lubrication, and dependable engine operation when installed as part of a professionally measured and prepared engine rebuild.

- Replace worn or damaged connecting rod bearings.
- Suit compatible 1.7L and 1.8L VW Type 4 and Porsche 914 engines.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Deep knocking or tapping noises from the engine.
- Knocking that becomes more noticeable with engine speed or load.
- Low engine oil pressure.
- Oil pressure warning when the engine is hot.
- Metallic particles or bearing material in the engine oil.
- Metallic debris found in the oil filter or strainer.
- Excessive connecting rod bearing clearance.
- Scoring or wear on crankshaft rod journals.
- Scratched, pitted, or discoloured bearing surfaces.
- Evidence of bearing overheating or oil starvation.
- Increased engine vibration or rough mechanical operation.
- Severe internal engine damage or seizure in advanced cases.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Connecting rod bearings are among the most heavily loaded components within an engine. Every combustion event places substantial force through the piston and connecting rod onto the crankshaft, with the rod bearing providing the critical lubricated interface between the connecting rod and crankshaft journal.
- As bearings wear, their running clearance can increase. Excessive clearance can reduce oil pressure and allow the connecting rod to move excessively against the crankshaft journal, producing the characteristic knocking associated with worn big-end bearings.
- If bearing wear progresses far enough for the protective oil film to break down, direct metal-to-metal contact can occur. This may rapidly damage the crankshaft journal, overheat or destroy the bearing, contaminate the lubrication system with metallic debris, and potentially cause the bearing to seize or spin within the connecting rod. Severe failure can result in extensive engine damage.
- Correct bearing sizing is especially important during an engine rebuild. If the crankshaft journals have been reground, standard-size bearings may no longer provide the correct oil clearance. The required bearing specification should therefore be selected according to accurate crankshaft journal measurements and the applicable engine specifications.
- Replacing worn components with the correct OE Match Rod Bearings – 021105707, 021105713, or 021105701 – for compatible 1.7L and 1.8L VW Type 4 and Porsche 914 engines helps restore correct connecting rod clearance, crankshaft protection, lubrication, and dependable engine operation.
