Description
Overview:
These Big End Shells (liners) are genuine Villiers bearing shells for the big-end journal of the connecting rod on Villiers industrial engines. They are the 0.020 inch undersize (0.51 mm) variant, used to restore correct bearing clearance after a crankpin regrind. Built as steel-backed shells with an anti-friction bearing surface, they support stable oil film formation, protect the crankshaft and con-rod, and reduce wear. Designed for older Villiers engines such as the MK15 and 15/2, they offer a precise, reliable fit to factory specification. Marked as OEM No. DM2566, they are suitable for restoration and routine maintenance where accurate bearing geometry is essential for smooth running, oil pressure retention, and long service life in demanding industrial use.
