Abstract
A bearing arrangement which assures positive geometrical centering between two separately produced bearing components, preferably in internal combustion engines, includes a first bearing component provided with projections extending beyond a parting surface between the components and a second bearing component of lower hardness than the projections so that the projections displace the material of the second bearing component during assembly of the bearing arrangement.
