Engine Bearings

When it comes to your engine, you don't want to settle for sub-standard bearings. After all, the good folks at Chrysler, Ram, Jeep, or Dodge certainly didn't skimp when they built your engine in the first place. That means quality-built engine bearings are always worth the investment.

What Engine Bearings Do

For the most part, the engine relies upon bearings that are known as main bearings. They keep the crankshaft in place so that it can rotate within the engine block. They're usually held in place by both bearing caps and the engine block.

The total amount of main bearings found in your vehicle's engine will vary, since adding more adds to both the engine's size and price. However, the more bearings, the less potential for stress and deflection. Most engines will have at least two main bearings, with one located at each end of the crankshaft. Others can be placed along the crankshaft, with the number running up to one for every crank pin. While that may seem excessive, it's common among engines designed to run at higher RPMs.

What Are the Signs of Engine Bearing Failure?

Due to the constant grinding of parts, engine bearings can eventually go bad. Signs of trouble include knocking engine noises, though this needs more detailed investigation to determine if there can be another cause. A sudden drop in oil pressure can also be due to a worn-out engine bearing. If your "Check Oil" light comes on and then turns off after your engine's warmed up, that's another indication of trouble.
