Description
Overview:
This crankcase bearing bush is a genuine BSA component for the 220 cc Model D industrial engine, supplied to OEM specification under part number 86 3693. It is a precision plain bearing, typically manufactured from a wear‐resistant bronze alloy, that supports the crankshaft within the crankcase to maintain correct running clearance and oil film. The bush is undersize by 0.010 in (0.254 mm), making it suitable for engines with a crankshaft journal ground by the same amount during overhaul. It is intended for press-fitting into the crankcase and, as with most bushes, may require final sizing after installation to achieve the correct clearance. Ideal for keeping vintage BSA industrial engines running smoothly in tools and machinery such as mixers, pumps, and generators.
