Toyota 13205-78201-71 Bearing Set, Connecting Rod | 2TD/2TG

Overview

The 13205-78201-71 BEARING SET, CONNECTING ROD is an engine-grade replacement component for Toyota industrial forklifts. Connecting rod bearings form the critical interface between the connecting rod big end and the crankshaft journal, converting combustion pressure into smooth rotational power. When these bearings wear, an engine can lose oil pressure, develop knocking noises and risk permanent crankshaft damage. Fitting a fresh 13205-78201-71 for 02-2TD15 and its sister models restores correct clearance, oil film and compression performance.

Compatibility

This connecting rod bearing set is specified for the Toyota 02-2TD and 02-2TG series counterbalance forklifts, covering:

• 02-2TD series (diesel, 1.5-2.5 tonne class): 02-2TD15, 02-2TD18, 02-2TD20, 02-2TD23 and 02-2TD25, plus the 02-2TDU25 variant
• 02-2TG series (LPG/gasoline, 2.0-2.5 tonne class): 02-2TG20 and 02-2TG25

Toyota commonly used one engine family across these chassis codes, so the same bearing set serves multiple trucks in the range. Always confirm your chassis and engine serial number before ordering to guarantee an exact match.

Quality and Reliability

Toyota engines are renowned for longevity, and this bearing set is engineered to precise dimensions for the engines listed above. Consistent wall thickness, sound alloy bonding and a smooth bearing surface help maintain stable oil clearance across thousands of operating hours. We supply exactly the part number shown, so the Toyota truck you maintain receives the correct component every time.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Replace connecting rod bearings in a clean environment; fine debris can embed in the soft bearing layer.
• Measure crankshaft journals and rod bores, then verify oil clearance with plastigauge before final assembly.
• Fit new connecting rod bolts where the service manual requires, and torque to Toyota specifications in the correct sequence.
• Prime the lubrication system after reassembly and check oil pressure at idle before returning the truck to service.
• Re-inspect bearings after any overheating or oil-loss event, or if unusual engine noise appears.
