Nissan FE6 FE6T Engine Main Crankshaft Bearing 12117-Z5560 & Connecting Rod Bearing 12213-Z5500

Product Details

Product Overview

This product listing offers a matched set of precision-ground engine bearings specifically designed for the Nissan FE6 and FE6T diesel engine platforms. The set includes the Main Crankshaft Bearing (OEM number 12117-Z5560) and the Connecting Rod Bearing (OEM number 12213-Z5500). These components are critical for maintaining proper oil clearance and supporting the rotational forces within the engine block.

Manufactured to original equipment (OEM) size specifications, these bearings are commonly utilized in heavy-duty applications such as industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, marine propulsion, power generation (gensets), and material handling equipment. While we cannot guarantee fitment for every variant, these bearings are the standard replacement parts for the specified Nissan engine series. The parts are sourced from Guangdong, China, and are available as either high-quality aftermarket components (brand) or genuine OEM parts, depending on current stock availability.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision Engineering: Manufactured to strict OEM tolerances (12117-z5560 & 12213-z5500) to ensure exact oil clearance and proper lubrication film thickness.
• Durable Material Composition: Constructed from high-grade steel-backed bearing material with a lead or aluminum-tin overlay for excellent fatigue resistance and anti-seizure properties.
• Direct Fit Replacement: Designed as a direct replacement for the Nissan FE6 and FE6T diesel engines, reducing installation time and the need for modifications.
• Enhanced Engine Life: Proper bearing clearance reduces friction on the crankshaft and connecting rods, minimizing wear and extending the overall lifespan of the engine block.
• Comprehensive Set: Includes both the main bearing and connecting rod bearing in one listing, ensuring component compatibility for a complete lower-end overhaul.
• Reliable Supply Chain: Backed by a 6-month warranty and available for global distribution with OEM service options for custom packaging or bulk orders.

Technical Specifications

OEM Cross-Reference

This bearing set is directly cross-referenced against the following Nissan original equipment numbers. Please verify your existing part number before purchase.

• Main Crankshaft Bearing: 12117-Z5560, 12117-Z5561 (If applicable)
• Connecting Rod Bearing: 12213-Z5500, 12213-Z5501 (If applicable)

Compatibility

These bearings are specifically designed for the Nissan FE6 and FE6T heavy-duty diesel engine platforms. They are commonly used for the following applications where these engine models are installed:

• Industrial Construction Equipment (e.g., forklifts, loaders)
• Agricultural Machinery (e.g., tractors, harvesters)
• Marine Propulsion Systems
• Power Generation (Genset) Units
• Material Handling Equipment

Note: Fitment is inferred based on the engine model specification. We recommend comparing the dimensions of your original bearing with the OEM numbers listed above to ensure compatibility.

FAQ

Q: How can I verify that these bearings will fit my engine?
A: Please check the OEM number stamped on the back of your old bearing. If it matches 12117-Z5560 (Main) or 12213-Z5500 (Rod), these are the correct parts. These are standard size bearings for the Nissan FE6/FE6T. If your engine has been re-ground, you may require an oversized bearing.

Q: Do I need to replace the main bearings and rod bearings at the same time?
A: While it is not strictly necessary, it is highly recommended. Replacing both sets simultaneously ensures consistent oil clearance and load distribution across the crankshaft. It is considered best practice during a major engine overhaul to replace the entire lower end bearing set.

Q: What is the recommended installation procedure?
A: Installation should be performed by a qualified diesel mechanic. The bearing shells must be clean and dry. Apply a thin layer of clean engine oil to the bearing surface (not the back). Torque the main bearing caps and connecting rod caps to the Nissan factory specifications using a calibrated torque wrench. Always check the plastigauge clearance to ensure it is within the service manual limits.
