Product Details

This is a set of Clevite connecting rod bearings for Ford 170, 200, and 250 cubic inch inline-six engines. These bearings are crucial for the proper functioning of your engine, as they sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft, reducing friction and wear. This particular set is designed to fit a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the 1960s through the early 1980s, including popular models like the Ford Falcon and Mercury Comet.

Clevite uses a BiMetal aluminum silicon alloy for these bearings, which contains 60% more silicon than many other bearings. This higher silicon content helps to condition the journal surfaces of your crankshaft, leading to better seizure resistance and improved wear characteristics. This means your engine's rotating assembly can handle more miles and tougher conditions.

When rebuilding or repairing your engine, using well-built bearings like these from Clevite is important for ensuring long-term durability. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
