Crankshaft bearing

It sounds kind of tiny, but a crankshaft bearing has a big job when it comes to keeping an engine running smoothly. Inside the engine itself, the crankshaft is what converts the up and down motion of your pistons into spinning motion. It is this spinning that pushes your car or turns the parts of a machine that does work. The crankshaft  bearing is positioned in between the crankshaft and the engine block. 

What Is a Crankshaft Bearing and Why Is It Essential for Engine Performance

When it is running, the engine moves really fast and with a lot of force. With a poor bearing, the crankshaft steel and the metal of the engine block could rub on each other leading to friction heat and damage. This can lead to the engine losing power or failing completely. By keeping the car crankshaft position sensor in the appropriate location, crankshaft bearings are also involved.
