What is the purpose of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. They create a low-friction surface that allows the rod to rotate smoothly while handling the high forces from combustion, preventing metal-on-metal contact and wear.

What does '.020 inch undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are designed for a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.020 inches. This is a common practice during engine rebuilds when the crankshaft journals have been worn or damaged and need to be reconditioned to a specific size.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is sold as a set, containing all the necessary connecting rod bearings for a Cummins KT-A engine application.

About this part

Product Details

This is a set of Clevite connecting rod bearings for Cummins KT-A engines. These bearings are crucial for the proper functioning of your engine's rotating assembly, providing a smooth surface for the connecting rod to pivot on the crankshaft. They are designed to handle the immense pressures and heat generated during combustion, ensuring the longevity of your engine.

This particular set is .020 inch undersize, meaning it's intended for crankshafts that have been machined down by that amount during an engine rebuild. Using the correct bearing size is essential for maintaining proper oil clearance, which is critical for lubrication and preventing premature wear. Clevite is a well-known name in engine bearings, and these are a solid option for anyone rebuilding a Cummins KT-A engine.
