Product Details
These Clevite connecting rod bearings are built with 100% lead-free aluminum silicon, a material that's 60% richer in silicon than many other bearings. This advanced composition helps to better condition the crankshaft journal surfaces they ride on, which in turn offers improved resistance to seizure and wear. They are a pair of bearings, measuring 0.50mm undersize, designed for a range of classic Volkswagen engines, including those found in Beetles, Karmann Ghias, and Transporters from the 1950s through the 1980s.
The bi-metal construction, with its aluminum silicon layer, is a well-known approach for durability in engine components. By providing a smoother, more conditioned surface for the crankshaft to rotate against, these bearings help reduce friction and heat buildup. This is crucial for the longevity of your engine, especially when rebuilding or refreshing an older Volkswagen powerplant. Because they are undersized by 0.50mm, they are intended for crankshafts that have been machined to match this specification.
