Description
Overview:
The Main Bearing 020 Pair for Lister ST engines is a genuine Lister Petter component designed to support the crankshaft and maintain correct oil-clearance under load. Supplied as a matched pair of half-shells, it replaces a single main bearing position in the crankcase. The /020 size denotes an undersize bearing for a reground crankshaft, typically 0.020 in (0.51 mm). Manufactured to OEM specification from robust, wear-resistant bearing materials with a steel-backed construction, it provides stable running, reduces friction and helps extend engine life. This item is unused old stock and may show light tarnishing or storage marks, which do not affect function. OEM No. 570 12970/020. Suitable for Lister ST series engines used in generators, pumps, welders and industrial plant.
