Installation Notes

  1. Always consult your engine's official service manual for detailed procedures and torque specifications.
  2. Thoroughly clean the crankshaft, bearing saddles, and main caps before installation. Ensure no oil, debris, or old bearing material remains.
  3. Place the upper bearing shells into the engine block saddles and the lower shells into the main caps, ensuring the locating tangs are correctly seated.
  4. Apply a generous amount of high-quality engine assembly lube to all bearing surfaces.
  5. Carefully lower the crankshaft into place. Install the main caps and hand-tighten the bolts.
  6. Following the manual's specified sequence and torque stages, tighten the main cap bolts to the final torque value using a calibrated torque wrench.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if I need 0.30 mm oversized bearings?

Oversized bearings are used when a crankshaft has been machined (ground down) to remove scoring or wear. After machining, the journal diameter is smaller, requiring thicker bearings to maintain proper oil clearance. Your machine shop will tell you the required oversize (e.g., 0.10, 0.20, 0.30 mm) after they measure the crank.

Will this kit fit my specific TAMD22 engine model?

This kit is compatible with the listed Volvo Penta MD22, TMD22, and TAMD22 series engines. Please cross-reference your exact model with our compatibility table and verify the OEM part number 859945 matches your service records.

What are the signs of main bearing failure?

Common symptoms include a deep, knocking sound from the bottom of the engine that increases with RPM, low oil pressure, and the presence of metallic flakes (bearing material) in the engine oil during an oil change.

Is any special preparation required before installation?

Yes. Absolute cleanliness is critical. Ensure the bearing surfaces on the block and crankshaft are immaculate. Use a high-quality assembly lube on the bearings and journals to ensure proper lubrication on initial startup.
