BEARING FRICTION
Bearing friction comes from many different sources
including the crankshaft main bearings, connecting rod
big-end bearings, connecting rod small-end bearings,
camshaft bearings, and rocker arm bearings.
As previously discussed engine bearings typically
represent 20 to 30% of the total engine frictional losses.
Of the many different bearings in a diesel engine none are
more critical or highly stressed than the connecting rod
big/small-end bearings and the crankshaft main bearings.

Total Friction
The work per cycle for each component I of the total friction is given by
integrating the friction force Ff,I times its displacement dx around the cycle.
