Description
Overview:
The Big End Shells/Bearing for Con Rod (Standard) is a genuine Villiers component for MK15 engines. Made from durable metal, it sits at the big end of the connecting rod to provide a smooth, low‐friction running surface on the crankpin journal. Replacing worn shells helps maintain the correct oil clearance, supports stable oil film formation, and protects the crankshaft and con rod from scoring. This standard-size set is intended for engines with an unground, standard crankpin, making it a straightforward choice during servicing or a rebuild. Suitable for tradespeople and DIY users working on Villiers MK15 engines, it is unused old stock from the period and may show light tarnishing or minor age marks that do not affect performance or reliability.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for assured compatibility with MK15 engines
- Standard size for use with a standard (non-oversize) crankpin journal
- Durable metal construction designed for sustained heat and load
- Precision surfaces to help maintain correct oil clearance and pressure
- Reduces friction and wear at the big end for smoother running
- Helps prevent bearing knock and vibration caused by worn shells
- Direct replacement during routine service or full engine overhaul
- Aids engine reliability, starting, and overall performance retention
- Unused old stock; cosmetic tarnish possible but function unaffected
- Suitable for professional workshops and home mechanics
Typical Applications:
Used during maintenance, repair, or rebuild of Villiers MK15 engines where bearing wear is present. Common in light plant and garden machinery powered by the MK15, such as small generators, rotavators, pumps, and similar equipment. Ideal when restoring vintage machinery to dependable running condition or when addressing low oil pressure, rumbling noises, or scored crankpin surfaces.
