Aftermarket main bearing set (crankshaft main bearing shells) 5I-7588A1 — a direct replacement for the Caterpillar 5I-7588 main bearing. It fits the Caterpillar 3066 / S6K / C6.4 diesel engine family (also 3064 / C4.2), commonly used on CAT 311 / 312 / 320B / 320C / 320D / 323 excavators. Outer diameter 95 mm, standard size.
The main bearings carry the crankshaft in the cylinder block. When they wear, main-bearing clearance opens up — typical signs are a deep knocking from the crankcase, low oil pressure, metal particles in the oil and, in severe cases, crankshaft journal scoring. They are normally renewed together with the big-end rod bearings and thrust washers during an engine overhaul.
Bimetal construction: a steel backing with a copper-alloy (aluminium-tin / lead-bronze type) lining. Supplied as a set for the engine. Confirm the removed shell number, the journal size and whether standard or an undersize (0.25 / 0.50 mm) is required before ordering.
Increased main-bearing clearance, a deep knock from the crankcase, low oil pressure, metal particles in the oil; severe cases show crankshaft journal scoring.
Installation Tips
1. Check the crankshaft journals for ovality, taper and scoring; regrind if required.
2. Clean the block saddles and fit the upper shells; check the oil holes align with the block oil passages.
3. Oil the shells and set the crankshaft; fit the lower shells in the caps.
4. Torque the main caps to specification and check free rotation and end-float before final assembly.
