PRODUCT DETAILS:
Direct replacement lower rod bearing for connecting rod service in Johnson and Evinrude V4, V6, and V8 2-stroke outboard engines from 120HP through 300HP covering model years 1985 through 2001. This caged needle bearing replaces the original connecting rod lower bearing in Johnson/Evinrude looper and Ficht outboard engines across V4, V6, and V8 configurations with 3.500-inch, 3.685-inch, and 3.854-inch bore sizes. Manufactured to match or exceed specifications for proper fit and durability in the demanding marine outboard environment where saltwater and high RPM create extreme bearing loads. The bearing cage maintains proper needle roller spacing and alignment, ensuring consistent load distribution across the crankshaft journal during high-performance engine operation. A worn or damaged connecting rod bearing can cause excessive crankshaft play, rod knock, and eventual engine failure if not replaced during rebuild. Confirm your engine model and part number before purchasing to verify proper fitment.
