The Multiquip 01679800 Big End Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for the MVH408DZ reversible plate compactor. Sourced directly through Multiquip's authorized parts program, this bearing is built to the same specification as the original installed unit, ensuring a correct fit within the compactor's engine assembly. If you're servicing or rebuilding the bottom end on an MVH408DZ, the 01679800 is the manufacturer-specified replacement to use.
Key Features
- OEM Crankshaft Tolerancing: — Manufactured to the exact dimensional spec required for proper crankshaft-to-connecting-rod clearance on Multiquip heavy-duty reversible plate compactors.
- Drop-In Fitment for MVH408DZ: — Engineered to seat correctly in the big end bore without modification, matching the original bearing journal dimensions.
- Confirmed Compatibility: — Verified fitment for the MVH408DZ reversible plate compactor series.
- Protects Engine Longevity: — A worn big end bearing causes knocking, excessive play, and accelerated crankshaft wear; replacing it at the correct interval preserves the engine's service life.
- Genuine OEM Assurance: — Supplied as an authorized Multiquip OEM part, so you get the correct material grade and load rating for the application — not a generic substitute.
The big end bearing sits at the lower end of the connecting rod, where it wraps around the crankshaft journal and allows the rod to rotate smoothly as the piston moves up and down. It carries significant load with every power stroke, and over time the bearing surface wears, leading to increased clearance, oil pressure loss, and the characteristic knocking sound of bottom-end wear. Replacing the big end bearing with the correct OEM-spec part restores proper crankshaft alignment and smooth engine operation, which is essential for the compactor's exciter mechanism to function at the right frequency and force.
