What does the 'A10(8)' in the part number mean?

The 'A10' indicates that these bearings are 0.010 inch undersize. The '(8)' typically refers to the number of bearings in the set, meaning you get eight connecting rod bearings for a V8 engine.

Do these bearings come with assembly lube?

This specific product listing is for the Clevite CB818A10(8) bearing set only. It does not include assembly lube. You will need to purchase engine assembly lube separately to properly lubricate the bearings before installation.

What is the tri-metal overlay?

The tri-metal overlay is a common material composition for high-performance engine bearings. It typically consists of three layers: a steel backing for strength, a bronze-aluminum alloy for load carrying, and a thin overlay of babbitt (a soft alloy) for conformability and embeddability.

Product Details

These Clevite connecting rod bearings are built with a high-performance tri-metal overlay, a common choice for rebuilding Ford 429 and 460 cubic inch V8 engines. This material composition is known for its strength and ability to handle the stresses of regular operation. The CB818A10(8) part number indicates these are 0.010 inch undersize bearings, which is important if you're machining your crankshaft to match.

When you're rebuilding an engine, getting the right bearing clearance is critical for oil flow and longevity. Clevite has been a well-known name in engine bearings for a long time, and this set is designed to meet the demands of these large-displacement Ford V8s. They fit a wide range of Ford trucks, vans, and some older passenger cars from the late 60s through the late 90s, including popular models like the F-150, E-250 Econoline, and Country Squire.

Make sure to check your crankshaft journals for wear and ensure they are within the specified tolerance for these 0.010 inch undersize bearings. Proper installation and lubrication are key to getting the most out of these components during your engine build.
