What does the 'A10' in the part number CB1799A10(6) mean?

The 'A10' designation indicates that these connecting rod bearings are 0.010 inches undersize. This means they are intended for use on crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.010 inches during an engine rebuild.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings. Typically, a set includes enough bearings for all the connecting rods in the engine, which is usually eight bearings for a V8 or six for an inline-6 like the Ford 240.

What is the importance of oil clearance for connecting rod bearings?

Proper oil clearance is critical for connecting rod bearings. It allows a thin film of oil to form between the bearing and the crankshaft journal, which lubricates, cools, and cushions the surfaces, preventing metal-to-metal contact and reducing wear.

Product Details

This is a Clevite connecting rod bearing set, part number CB1799A10(6), designed for Ford 6 240 engines. These bearings are crucial for maintaining the correct oil clearance between the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal. Proper clearance is essential for oil film formation, which lubricates and cools the bearing surfaces, preventing premature wear and engine failure.

This set is a popular choice for rebuilding or repairing engines in a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Bronco, F-150, and Econoline vans from the mid-60s through the mid-90s. Clevite bearings are known for their well-built construction, using materials that stand up to the demands of internal engine operation. The 'A10' in the part number indicates these are 0.010 inch undersize bearings, meaning they are intended for crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.010 inches during an engine rebuild.

When installing these bearings, it's important to ensure the crankshaft journals are clean and within the specified undersize tolerance. Always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for the correct installation procedure and torque specifications.
