082V01113-0129 Upper Main Bearing Shell for HOWO Truck
The 082V01113-0129 Upper Main Bearing Shell is an essential engine component specifically engineered for HOWO trucks. As a precision-engineered bearing shell, it plays a critical role in maintaining crankshaft stability and reducing friction within diesel engines. Manufactured to exact OEM specifications, this upper main bearing shell ensures optimal oil clearance and pressure distribution for the HOWO series heavy-duty trucks operating under demanding conditions. The 082V01113-0129 part maintains consistent lubrication film integrity even at high RPMs, directly contributing to extended engine lifespan and preventing costly crankshaft damage.
Precision Engineered for HOWO Truck Performance
Engineered exclusively for SINOTRUK HOWO heavy-duty trucks, the 082V01113-0129 Upper Main Bearing Shell provides the crucial interface between engine block and crankshaft. Unlike generic bearing shells, this OEM-specified component maintains exact dimensional tolerances required by HOWO’s powerful diesel engines. The precision-machined curvature and micro-grooves of the 082V01113-0129 ensure optimal oil distribution across the entire bearing surface.
Enhanced Durability Features
Constructed with high-strength aluminum alloy substrate and lead-free overlay, this 082V01113-0129 bearing shell resists wear under extreme pressure conditions common in commercial trucking. The bimetallic construction combines fatigue resistance with excellent conformability, allowing it to absorb minor misalignments without compromising performance. Trucks equipped with genuine 082V01113-0129 bearing shells demonstrate significantly reduced maintenance requirements.
Operational Advantages
HOWO operators report noticeable vibration reduction and quieter engine operation after installing the 082V01113-0129 upper main bearing shells. The precisely calibrated clearances maintain hydrodynamic lubrication film integrity across temperature extremes, preventing metal-to-metal contact even during cold starts. When replacing worn bearings in HOWO engines, mechanics prefer the 082V01113-0129 for its consistency and reliability.
Installation Guidelines
Proper installation of the 082V01113-0129 requires clean engine block surfaces and precise torque sequencing. The bearing shell must be positioned with the locating tab correctly seated in the block’s machined groove. Recommended assembly requires plastigage verification of oil clearance to ensure the 082V01113-0129 components deliver design-specified performance parameters.
Longevity and Maintenance
The service life of 082V01113-0129 bearing shells typically exceeds 500,000 kilometers when paired with regular oil changes. The advanced polymer coating on these bearing shells creates a running surface that becomes smoother during engine operation. Truck fleet managers consider the 082V01113-0129 a cost-effective investment in preventing catastrophic engine failure.
Compatibility Information
Designed specifically for HOWO truck models including A7, T7, and T5G series with WEVB/WD615 engines. The 082V01113-0129 part replaces older bearing designs while maintaining backward compatibility with certain earlier engine configurations. Always verify 082V01113-0129 compatibility using VIN-specific cross-reference tools before installation.
Quality Assurance
Each 082V01113-0129 bearing shell undergoes dimensional verification and surface finish analysis before packaging. The triple-layer construction meets international standards for heavy-duty engine bearings. Customers choosing the authentic 082V01113-0129 receive a sealed component with anti-corrosion coating.
Lubrication Considerations
The hydrodynamic wedge formed by the 082V01113-0129 operates optimally with manufacturer-recommended 15W-40 diesel engine oils. The micro-surface texture on these bearing shells helps retain oil film during high-load operations common in mountainous terrain where HOWO trucks typically operate.
Common Failure Signs
Truck operators should monitor for low oil pressure warnings or unusual engine knocking sounds as indicators of bearing wear. Replacement of the 082V01113-0129 is recommended during major overhauls or upon discovery of abnormal copper-colored material in engine oil filters.
Comparative Performance
Independent testing shows the 082V01113-0129 outperforms aftermarket alternatives in fatigue resistance and embeddability. The specific alloy composition provides superior protection against abrasive wear particles common in extended-service-interval operations. HOWO technicians document 23% longer service life with genuine 082V01113-0129 components.
Environmental Compliance
All 082V01113-0129 bearing shells comply with RoHS standards. The lead-free overlay formulation reduces environmental impact without sacrificing wear resistance. Proper disposal of used bearing shells should follow local regulations for metallic waste.
Customization Options
For specialized applications, customized versions of the 082V01113-0129 with increased wall thickness are available. These variants maintain all dimensional specifications while addressing particular alignment challenges in remanufactured engine blocks.
Supply Chain Efficiency
The standardized 082V01113-0129 bearing shell simplifies inventory management for worldwide HOWO service centers. Regional distribution hubs maintain stock to ensure rapid availability for emergency repairs. Counterfeit parts have been identified on secondary markets – always verify holographic packaging seals when purchasing 082V01113-0129 components.
