Rod bearings, also known as connecting rod bearings or big-end bearings, are precision engine components fitted between the connecting rod big ends and the crankshaft rod journals. They provide a low-friction running surface that allows the connecting rods to move smoothly around the crankshaft while maintaining a controlled film of pressurised engine oil between the bearing and journal.

What This Product Does:
  • Fit between the connecting rod big ends and crankshaft journals.
  • Support smooth connecting rod movement around the crankshaft.
  • Provide a controlled low-friction bearing surface.
  • Maintain a protective film of pressurised engine oil.
  • Help prevent direct metal-to-metal contact.
  • Support correct connecting rod and crankshaft clearances.
  • Help maintain dependable engine lubrication and oil pressure.
  • Withstand combustion forces and high rotational loads.
  • Protect the crankshaft rod journals against excessive wear.
  • Replace worn or damaged connecting rod bearings.
  • Suit compatible 1.7L and 1.8L VW Type 4 and Porsche 914 engines.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
  • Deep knocking or tapping noises from the engine.
  • Knocking that becomes more noticeable with engine speed or load.
  • Low engine oil pressure.
  • Oil pressure warning when the engine is hot.
  • Metallic particles or bearing material in the engine oil.
  • Metallic debris found in the oil filter or strainer.
  • Excessive connecting rod bearing clearance.
  • Scoring or wear on crankshaft rod journals.
  • Scratched, pitted, or discoloured bearing surfaces.
  • Evidence of bearing overheating or oil starvation.
  • Increased engine vibration or rough mechanical operation.
  • Severe internal engine damage or seizure in advanced cases.

Why Replacement Matters:

  • Connecting rod bearings are among the most heavily loaded components within an engine. Every combustion event places substantial force through the piston and connecting rod onto the crankshaft, with the rod bearing providing the critical lubricated interface between the connecting rod and crankshaft journal.
  • As bearings wear, their running clearance can increase. Excessive clearance can reduce oil pressure and allow the connecting rod to move excessively against the crankshaft journal, producing the characteristic knocking associated with worn big-end bearings.
  • If bearing wear progresses far enough for the protective oil film to break down, direct metal-to-metal contact can occur. This may rapidly damage the crankshaft journal, overheat or destroy the bearing, contaminate the lubrication system with metallic debris, and potentially cause the bearing to seize or spin within the connecting rod. Severe failure can result in extensive engine damage.
  • Correct bearing sizing is especially important during an engine rebuild. If the crankshaft journals have been reground, standard-size bearings may no longer provide the correct oil clearance. The required bearing specification should therefore be selected according to accurate crankshaft journal measurements and the applicable engine specifications.
  • Replacing worn components with the correct OE Match Rod Bearings – 021105707, 021105713, or 021105701 – for compatible 1.7L and 1.8L VW Type 4 and Porsche 914 engines helps restore correct connecting rod clearance, crankshaft protection, lubrication, and dependable engine operation.

Important fitment information – please read before ordering:

Please be aware that some early 2.5L 986 Boxster models (*) were fitted with main bearing shells with the alignment/locating tab in the centre, as opposed to offset to the side, which is what this listing is for. Please check your existing bearing shells before ordering. If you have centre-aligned bearing shells, this product is not suitable and is no longer offered by Porsche as a replacement part.

In addition, some 2.5L models may be fitted with the earlier-style crankcase carrier, meaning the bearing shells required have the alignment tab on the right, not the left as is the case with this listing. Please ensure you check your existing shells before ordering. If the alignment tab on your existing shells is located on the right, please use part no. 99610113164 instead.

Additionally, for 2005 and 2006 2.7L 987 Boxster models (M9625 engine code) (*), the existing bearing shells are no longer offered by Porsche. These have the locating tab on the opposite side, meaning these bearings are incompatible. In order to fit these bearings, the crankcase carrier will need to be updated to the later style, part no. 99610100709.
