The connecting rod bearing, designated by code number H 33016 and categorized under figure 212, plays a crucial role in the internal mechanics of the ASL25 engine. This bearing allows smooth rotation of the connecting rod on the crankshaft, reducing friction and wear under high-load conditions. Precision-engineered to handle the intense pressures of diesel engine operation, it ensures long-term reliability and contributes significantly to overall engine performance. Its quality and fit are critical, making proper maintenance essential for preventing costly failures in the engine's power transmission system.

The end plate on the damper side, marked by code number K 16225, is an essential structural element within the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. It provides a firm mounting surface for the damper assembly and helps maintain the alignment and balance of the rotating components. Designed to endure mechanical stress and thermal expansion, this end plate ensures stability in the engine’s vibration control system. Regular inspection and secure fastening of the end plate are key to minimizing vibration-related wear and achieving long-term operational stability.

The engine frame cover, designated with code number K 16114, is designed to enclose and protect structural and functional elements of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Although it lacks a hand grip, this cover plays a vital role in shielding internal engine systems from dust, debris, and accidental contact. Made from sturdy materials, it ensures structural integrity and contributes to overall engine safety and cleanliness. Its correct installation is important for the preservation of both performance and component lifespan.

The bottom part of the oil cup, identified by code number K 12032, is a fundamental component in the lubrication system of the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. It serves as the reservoir and collection base for lubricating oil, ensuring a consistent supply to moving engine parts. Engineered for durability and resistance to high temperatures and vibration, this part helps maintain oil circulation efficiency and protects critical components from friction and wear. Proper maintenance of the oil cup bottom is essential for smooth engine operation and extended service life.
