Modern engines increasingly combine polymer, sputter and other bearing types. Because this adds complexity, Motorservice is pushing the sale of plain bearing sets for connecting rod and main bearings instead of individual bearing pairs.

• pairings and material combinations matched to the aftermarket
• lower cost thanks to the set price
• proper repair by renewing all bearing positions
• no laborious search for the individual bearing pairs
• fewer sources of error during replacement
