The Honda 13316-ZG4-000 Crankshaft Thrust Bearing A (Blue) is a genuine OEM component designed for the GD320 horizontal shaft diesel engine. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original bearing installed at the factory, ensuring an exact fit within the crankshaft assembly. The Blue color designation identifies this as a specific size variant — confirm this matches your engine's specification before ordering, as thrust bearings are available in more than one grade. Buyers should verify their engine serial number against the fitment table to confirm part number 13316-ZG4-000 is correct for their production range.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Crankshaft Bearing — sourced directly from Honda, this bearing meets the dimensional and material specifications of the original part, maintaining proper crankshaft end-play control in the GD320 diesel engine.
- Color-Coded Size Variant — the Blue designation identifies a specific thrust clearance grade; match this color code to your engine's build specification or service manual requirement before installation.
- GD320 Diesel Fitment — engineered specifically for the GD320 horizontal shaft diesel engine; this is not an interchangeable petrol-engine part.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda supersedes and updates bearing specifications at production breaks, so cross-check your engine serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct grade for your unit.
A crankshaft thrust bearing controls the side-to-side (axial) movement of the crankshaft within the engine block, keeping it centered and preventing excessive end-play. In a diesel engine like the GD320, tight control of crankshaft end-play is especially important because combustion pressures and load demands are higher than in comparable petrol engines. When a thrust bearing wears beyond its service limit, the crankshaft develops excessive axial movement, which can lead to accelerated wear on connecting rod journals, oil seal damage, and ultimately internal engine failure — making timely replacement of this component essential to the long-term health of the engine.
