What does '0.040 inch undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are designed for a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.040 inches to correct for wear. It's important to match the bearing size to the machined size of your crankshaft for proper oil clearance.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This is a set of connecting rod bearings, typically enough for all the connecting rods in your engine.

What is the primary function of connecting rod bearings?

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

About this part

Product Details

Clevite is known for making solid engine bearings, and this set of connecting rod bearings is no different. If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Chevrolet V6 engine from 1978 to 1984, specifically those with the 200 or 229 cubic inch displacement, these bearings are designed to fit right in. They are a crucial part of your engine's rotating assembly, helping to reduce friction and wear between the connecting rod and the crankshaft.

This particular set is 0.040 inch undersize, meaning it's intended for crankshafts that have been machined down to compensate for wear. Using the correct undersize bearing is essential for proper oil clearance and engine longevity after a rebuild. Clevite bearings are built to meet the demands of daily driving and occasional hard use, providing a reliable foundation for your engine's performance.
