Maintain dependable engine performance and longevity with this Genuine Nissan Big End Bearing, designed for TB42, TB45, and TB48 petrol engines used in Nissan Patrol models. This standard-size OEM rod bearing fits the big end of the connecting rod and supports the crankshaft, providing smooth rotation and proper oil film to prevent metal-to-metal contact under load.

Over time and with engine wear, bearings can deteriorate, score, or lose clearance control due to heat and friction. Worn or damaged big end bearings may cause knocking noises, low oil pressure, excessive crankshaft play, or accelerated engine wear, all of which can lead to costly engine failure if left unaddressed.

Manufactured to genuine Nissan specifications, this direct-fit standard-size bearing restores correct crankshaft support, reliable oil film retention, and long-term durability, deal for rebuilds, high-mileage engines, and performance applications.
