Why some main bearings have grooves?

Many engine failures come from insufficient lubrication. I have seen operators struggle with this problem. I believe grooves on main bearings address these issues by letting oil flow efficiently. This groove helps continuous oil flow around the journal. It reduces friction and controls heat. The crankshaft gets oil more steadily. That leads to longer bearing […]
What are the functions of engine bearing?

Many people worry about sudden engine troubles. They feel frustrated when searching for solutions. I believe we can overcome these fears by understanding the functions of engine bearings. Engine bearings hold the crankshaft in place, reduce friction, and guide moving parts. They prevent direct metal contact, control heat, and allow smooth rotation. Only sliding bearings […]
