Need rod bearings for a 92 corse

huit

I am looking for rod bearings or an alternative to the part number that is nla.

Pankl rods 21mm little end, the bearings had the two holes Part #11210071A

Both bearings were broken through the hole on both rods!

Thanks

Paul

Standard bearing shells should be relatively easy to get, the ones with holes in them cause a pressure drop and wear as seen in the resent post. They come in 3 sizes. Probably wise to give the pin a polish if it’s not too badly scored. I believe VW polo shells are the same.

Thanks Griff, I though maybe there was a size difference when the part number didn’t update

Part numbers often update for manufacturers change or material or design and unless the spares guy knows the superseded system you get NLA, which is often not the case. The easiest is to ask the supplier what is the new part No. In the case of bearing shells, shit loads of ducati engines use the same basic crank pin size. Same with main and gearbox bearings.

As far as main bearings go, NSK I think brought out RHP. They are still made in the UK at the same factory, they just have new masters. So the part number will have changed in the ducati parts manual.
