Installation Notes
- Ensure the engine is off, cool, and the battery is disconnected before starting work.
- Drain the engine oil and remove the oil pan to access the connecting rods.
- Before disassembly, mark the connecting rod and its corresponding cap to ensure correct reassembly.
- Carefully unbolt and remove the connecting rod cap, then push the piston assembly up slightly to remove the old bearing from the rod side.
- Remove the old bearing shell from the cap. Thoroughly clean the rod, cap, and crankshaft journal surfaces.
- Install the new bearing shells into the connecting rod and cap, making sure the locking tabs are correctly seated.
- Apply a generous amount of engine assembly lube to the new bearing surfaces and the crankshaft journal.
- Reinstall the rod cap, ensuring it is correctly oriented.
- Tighten the connecting rod bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque using a calibrated torque wrench. Follow the correct tightening sequence.
- It is highly recommended to check bearing clearance with Plastigauge to ensure it is within the specifications listed in the engine's service manual.
- Reinstall the oil pan with a new gasket, refill with fresh engine oil, and re-connect the battery.
- Start the engine and check for any unusual noises or leaks.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this is the correct bearing size for my engine?
This is a standard size bearing kit. If your engine's crankshaft has been machined down during a previous repair, you may require an oversize bearing. We recommend measuring the crankshaft journals with a micrometer and consulting your engine's service manual to confirm the required bearing size before ordering. Oversize alternatives for this part include Volvo Penta 876670 and 876671.
What are the common symptoms of a worn-out big-end bearing?
The most common sign of a failing big-end bearing is a distinct, rhythmic knocking or tapping sound from the lower part of the engine that gets faster as RPMs increase. Other symptoms include low oil pressure readings, especially when the engine is warm, and the presence of metallic flakes or glitter in the engine oil and filter.
Can I use this kit for an engine model other than the MD2010-C?
This bearing kit is specifically confirmed for the Volvo Penta MD2010-C model. While part number 876669 may fit other engines, we cannot guarantee compatibility. Always verify the required part number in your engine's official service manual or parts diagram before purchasing.
Where exactly in the engine does this part go?
This big-end bearing is installed where the connecting rod (which is attached to a piston) connects to the crankshaft. For the Volvo Penta MD2010-C, it is identified as item #23 in the engine parts schematic.
How often should big-end bearings be replaced?
Big-end bearings do not have a fixed replacement interval like filters or spark plugs. They are typically replaced only during a complete engine rebuild or overhaul, or if they have failed. Their lifespan depends heavily on regular oil changes, correct oil viscosity, and overall engine condition.
What’s the difference between OEM and aftermarket parts?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials and manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility. All parts are batch-inspected for quality and consistency to ensure reliable performance.
