What is the purpose of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod. They create a low-friction surface that allows the rod to rotate smoothly around the crank journal while maintaining a precise oil clearance for lubrication.

Why are these bearings 0.010 inch undersize?

The 0.010 inch undersize means these bearings are slightly thicker than standard. They are used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down (ground) by 0.010 inches during an engine rebuild to remove wear or damage.

What else might I need when installing these bearings?

When installing connecting rod bearings, it's crucial to have the correct assembly lube to coat the bearings before installation. You'll also need a torque wrench to tighten the connecting rod bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding or repairing the 6.8L V10 engine in your 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty, the connecting rod bearings are a critical component. These ACL bearings are built to handle the demands of that big V10, ensuring smooth operation and proper oil clearance between the crankshaft and connecting rods. They are a direct replacement for your original equipment, meaning they'll fit right in without modification.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and these are made with their standard materials to meet OEM specifications. They are sized at 0.010 inches undersize, which is important if you've had your crankshaft ground down during a rebuild. This size helps restore the proper oil clearance, which is vital for lubricating the rotating assembly and preventing premature wear. Getting the right bearing size is key to a long-lasting engine build.

This set includes all the bearings you'll need for your V10 engine. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and use the correct torque specifications when installing these bearings to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
