Description
Overview:
The Big End Shells (Pair) Undersize 040 are replacement bearing shells for the connecting rod (big end) on Villiers single-cylinder engines. Made from durable metal for reliable service, they support the crankpin and maintain the correct oil film, helping the engine run smoothly and quietly. This genuine Villiers set is tailored to engines that have had the crankshaft ground to an 040 undersize for accurate bearing clearance and long service life. Supplied as a matched pair, they suit Villiers MK12 and C12 engines and are also used on later variants such as the MK15. Identified by MPN EM913 040, these shells are a practical, direct-fit solution when overhauling or repairing classic Villiers-powered machinery.
