The guide bearing cap, code 11.01254-0169.A, is a precision-fitted component used to secure and guide the motion of critical engine elements such as the camshaft or auxiliary shafts within the MAN L21/31 engine. By stabilizing axial and radial movement, the guide bearing cap contributes to smooth engine timing and mechanical efficiency. Its durable design helps reduce wear, misalignment, and mechanical failure over time, especially in applications involving sustained operational loads.
