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

This means the bearings are designed to fit a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.040 inches. This is common when rebuilding an engine and the crankshaft journals need to be reconditioned.

What is the benefit of the increased silicon content?

The higher silicon content in the aluminum alloy helps to create a smoother surface on the crankshaft journals. This improved surface conditioning leads to better wear resistance and reduces the risk of the bearing seizing to the crankshaft.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This is a set of connecting rod bearings. You will receive enough bearings to replace all the connecting rod bearings on your engine.

About this part

Product Details

This is a set of Clevite connecting rod bearings for your 1984-1985 Mercury Topaz with the 140 or 144 cubic inch 4-cylinder engine. These bearings are a crucial part of your engine's rotating assembly, sitting between the connecting rod and the crankshaft to allow smooth rotation with minimal friction.

Clevite uses a BiMetal aluminum silicon alloy for these bearings, which is 100% lead-free. They've added 60% more silicon than many other replacement bearings. This extra silicon helps to condition the crankshaft journal surfaces they run against, leading to better resistance against seizing and wear over time. This set is 0.040 inch undersize, meaning they are intended for crankshafts that have been machined down by 0.040 inches.
