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

The 60% higher silicon content compared to competitive replacements helps to better condition the crankshaft journal surfaces. This leads to improved resistance against seizure and wear, contributing to greater engine durability.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all Hemi engines?

These bearings are specifically designed for 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.4L Hemi V8 engines found in many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle and engine combination.

What does 'Bi-Metal' mean in the context of these bearings?

Bi-metal bearings, like these from Clevite, are constructed with two distinct layers of material. Typically, this involves a steel backing for strength and a bearing material, in this case, aluminum silicon, for low friction and wear resistance against the crankshaft.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram V8 Hemi engine, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are a solid option. They're built for the 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.4L displacements, covering a wide range of popular vehicles like the Dodge Charger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Ram 1500. These bearings are crucial for ensuring smooth operation and longevity of your crankshaft and connecting rods.

Clevite carries on a tradition of durability with these bi-metal bearings, which are made from 100% lead-free aluminum silicon. What's notable is that they contain 60% more silicon compared to many other replacement bearings. This higher silicon content helps to better condition the crankshaft journal surfaces they run against, leading to improved resistance against seizure and general wear. This means your engine's rotating assembly can handle more miles and harder use.

When you're putting an engine back together, using well-built components like these Clevite bearings makes a difference. They fit right into the connecting rod and are designed to work with the specific journal diameter of your Hemi crankshaft.
