The Honda 13326-PZ1-003 Main Bearing F (Pink) is a genuine OEM component designed for BF35, BF40, BF45, and BF50 outboard motors. This is a direct Honda OEM replacement, manufactured to the same specifications as the original part that left the factory. The Pink designation identifies a specific size grade — confirm that this grade matches your engine's crankshaft specification before ordering, as Honda uses color-coded bearings to indicate precise dimensional tolerances.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Crankshaft Bearing — sourced directly from Honda, this bearing meets the exact dimensional tolerances Honda specifies for proper crankshaft support and oil film clearance in BF35, BF40, BF45, and BF50 outboard motors.
- Color-Grade Fit — the Pink grade identifies a specific bearing size within Honda's color-coded system; matching the correct grade to your crankshaft journal is essential for correct running clearance.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda supersedes bearing grades at production breaks, so check your outboard's serial number against the fitment table to confirm part number 13326-PZ1-003 is the right grade for your specific unit.
- Critical to Engine Longevity — a correctly fitted main bearing maintains the oil film that protects the crankshaft from metal-to-metal contact; an out-of-specification or worn bearing leads to accelerated crankshaft wear and eventual engine failure.
The main bearing supports the crankshaft within the engine block, allowing it to rotate smoothly under the combustion loads generated with every power stroke. Honda grades these bearings by color to indicate small but critical differences in bearing thickness, ensuring the correct oil clearance between the bearing shell and the crankshaft journal. When a main bearing wears beyond its service limit or the wrong grade is installed, oil pressure at the journal drops, lubrication breaks down, and crankshaft damage follows — making bearing selection and correct installation one of the most important steps in any lower-end engine rebuild.
