Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my specific engine?
This kit replaces Volvo Penta part number 876680. The most reliable method is to check the service manual for your engine. While it fits many models from the 1990s–2010s, confirming the exact part number is essential before purchasing.
What are the signs of a failing connecting rod bearing?
Key symptoms include a deep, rhythmic knocking sound from the engine that often increases with RPM (rod knock), low oil pressure readings, and the presence of metallic particles or shavings in the engine oil and filter.
Is this a complete kit for one piston?
Yes, this package contains one bearing set for a single connecting rod. If you are rebuilding multiple cylinders, you will need to purchase one kit per cylinder.
What causes connecting rod bearings to fail?
The most common causes are oil starvation, contamination of the oil (with dirt, fuel, or coolant), improper installation (incorrect torque or clearance), or normal wear and tear over many hours of operation.
Can I install this myself?
This is an internal engine component that requires specialized tools, a clean environment, and precise measurements (like using Plastigage for clearance). Professional installation is strongly recommended unless you have extensive experience with engine rebuilding.
Is this an OEM part?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
How fast is shipping?
We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options appear at checkout where available.
What is the warranty and return policy?
