Description
Overview:
The Villiers Mk10 Crank Bearing (OEM ref. LS8 BEARING) is a crankshaft support bearing for classic Villiers small engines commonly found on construction and garden machines. Built from hardened bearing steel with precision-ground races, it keeps the crankshaft running true, minimises friction, and helps prevent premature wear to mating parts. It is designed to seat correctly in the crankcase and on the crank journal for dependable alignment and load handling. Suitable for service and rebuild work, it offers a straightforward replacement for worn or noisy bearings. Intended for Villiers Mk10 and C12 engines, it is a practical choice for trades, workshops, and home users maintaining compactors, cultivators, mowers, generators, and similar equipment powered by Villiers units.
