2. Babbitt (alloy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babbitt_(alloy)

   The crankshaft and connecting-rod big-end bearings in current automobile engines are made of a replaceable steel shell, keyed to the bearing caps. The inner surface of the steel shell is plated with a coating of bronze , which is in turn coated with a thin layer of Babbitt metal as the bearing surface.

3. Connecting rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecting_rod

   A connecting rod, also called a 'con rod', [1] [2] [3] is the part of a piston engine which connects the piston to the crankshaft. Together with the crank, the connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft. [4] The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and tensile forces from ...

5. Crankshaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft

   Crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods for a typical internal combustion engine Marine engine crankshafts from 1942. The crankshaft is located within the engine block and held in place via main bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the block. [3] The up-down motion of each piston is transferred to the crankshaft via connecting ...

6. Main bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_bearing

   The lower half of the main bearings are typically held in place by 'bearing caps' which are secured to the engine block using bolts. The basic arrangement is for each bearing cap to have two bolts, but some engines may have four or six bolts per bearing cap (often referred to as "four-bolt mains" or "six-bolt mains" engines).

7. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

   If an engine hydrolocks while at speed, a mechanical failure is likely. Common damage modes include bent or broken connecting rods, a fractured crank, a fractured head, a fractured block, crankcase damage, damaged bearings, or any combination of these. Forces absorbed by other interconnected components may cause additional damage.
