If your parts system shows 20565150, it refers to the same bearing application. Confirm with your engine serial number and parts diagram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common ordering mistake with this part is confusing it with the main crankshaft bearing — 11700316 is strictly the connecting-rod (big end) bearing. The second most common issue is ordering standard size without first measuring the crankshaft journals; if the engine has had any previous overhaul where journals were reground, a standard bearing will not provide correct clearance and will fail prematurely. Always mic the journals first. If you are doing a full bottom-end overhaul, budget for the thrust washers (20405899) and connecting-rod bolts (11700326) at the same time — these are single-use or wear items that should not be reused.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44081126342692,"sku":"11700316","price":55.9,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/1265fa53-8dcd-4182-94c2-436e03b0e83f.png?v=1787535014","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-penta-big-end-bearing-kit-11700316-standard","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
