What is the main benefit of the increased silicon content in these bearings?

The 60% higher silicon content helps to better condition the journal surfaces. This leads to improved resistance against seizing and wear, contributing to longer bearing life.

Are these bearings lead-free?

Yes, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are constructed with 100% lead-free aluminum silicon.

What does 'BiMetal' construction mean for these bearings?

BiMetal construction typically refers to a layered material where a steel backing is bonded to a bearing alloy. In this case, the bearing alloy is a lead-free aluminum silicon, chosen for its durability and performance characteristics.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your classic Chevrolet, Buick, or other compatible vehicle, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are a solid choice. They carry on a tradition of durability, using a BiMetal aluminum silicon construction that's 100% lead-free. This material has 60% more silicon than many other bearings, which helps condition the journal surfaces they run against. This leads to better resistance against seizing up and wearing out, keeping your engine running smoothly for longer.

These bearings are designed to fit right and perform reliably in a wide range of applications, from a 1960s Chevrolet Impala to a later model C10 pickup. The increased silicon content is a notable detail that translates to real-world benefits for your engine's health. They're a well-built component for anyone looking to restore or maintain their vehicle's powerplant.
