What does the 0.025 inch undersize mean for this bearing set?

The 0.025 inch undersize specification means these bearings are intended for use when the engine's crankshaft has been machined down by 0.025 inches. This is a common practice during engine rebuilding to true up a worn or damaged crankshaft.

What is the advantage of Clevite's tri-metal material?

Clevite's tri-metal material is known for its strength and ability to conform to the crankshaft surface. This construction helps create a strong oil film, reducing friction and wear, which is essential for engine longevity.

Do I need to purchase anything else with these main bearings?

When installing main bearings, it's critical to ensure proper engine oil is used and that all related components are clean. You will also need to verify the condition of your crankshaft and ensure it meets the 0.025 inch undersize specification for this particular set.

Product Details

Built with a 0.025 inch undersize, this Clevite main bearing set is designed to provide solid crankshaft support for a range of Ford and Mercury vehicles. These bearings are crucial for maintaining the correct clearances within your engine block, allowing the crankshaft to spin freely while handling the immense forces generated during combustion. If you're rebuilding an engine from a 1974 to 1990 Ford or Mercury model, getting the bearing clearances right is key to a long-lasting build.

Clevite uses a specialized tri-metal material construction for these bearings, which offers a good balance of strength and conformability. This means they can handle the load while also adapting slightly to the crankshaft's surface for improved oil film retention. This set is specifically sized at 0.025 inches undersize, which is important if your crankshaft has been machined to match this specification during a rebuild. Proper installation, including thorough cleaning of all engine components and ensuring correct oil flow, is essential for these bearings to perform as intended.

This set fits a wide variety of popular Ford and Mercury vehicles from the mid-70s through the early 90s, including models like the Ford Ranger, Mustang, and Mercury Capri. Make sure to verify fitment for your specific year and model to ensure you're getting the right components for your engine project.
