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

The 60% higher silicon content helps to condition the journal surfaces of your crankshaft. This leads to improved resistance against seizure and wear, which is crucial for the longevity of your engine.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all Ford engines from 1963-1975?

This set is designed for specific Ford engines with displacements between 1498cc and 1699cc from that era, and also fits many later model Ford Ranger and Explorer applications. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle and engine configuration.

What material are these Clevite bearings made from?

These Clevite bearings are constructed from a bi-metal aluminum silicon material. This composition is chosen for its durability and ability to provide excellent wear resistance.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your classic Ford, or even some later model Rangers and Explorers, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are a solid choice. They're built to handle the demands of an engine rebuild, carrying on Clevite's tradition of durability. These bearings are designed to keep your engine running smoothly for miles to come.

What sets these bearings apart is their composition. They're made from a bi-metal aluminum silicon material that contains 60% more silicon than many other bearings you might find. This extra silicon helps to condition the journal surfaces they run against, which means better resistance to seizure and wear. This is important because connecting rod bearings are critical for proper engine operation, reducing friction between the crankshaft and connecting rod.

This set is designed to fit a range of Ford vehicles from 1963-1975, including models like the Ford Mustang II and Ford Pinto, as well as many Ford Ranger and Explorer models from the 1980s through 2010. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific application.
