Description
Overview:
These Big End Shells are replacement connecting-rod bearing shells for Lister Petter diesel engines, supplied to the specification of OEM No. 23 232/020. Built from bearing-grade, steel-backed material with an anti-friction overlay, they support the crankpin and maintain correct oil clearance to control friction and wear. Used during service or overhaul, they help restore smooth, reliable running and protect the crankshaft journals under load. The "/020" sizing on the OEM code typically indicates 0.020 in (0.51 mm) undersize shells; always confirm against your crankshaft grind and service data. Suitable for workshop rebuilds or on-site maintenance of plant, generators, pumps, and other equipment powered by Lister Petter engines, these shells provide a precise fit and dependable performance when installed with clean components and correct torque procedures.
Key Features:
- Direct replacement to OEM No. 23 232/020 for correct fit and geometry
