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

The 60% higher silicon content in these Clevite bearings helps to better condition the crankshaft journal surfaces. This leads to improved resistance against seizure and wear, contributing to longer bearing and crankshaft life.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for my original connecting rod bearings?

Yes, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are designed as a direct replacement for the specified 6-cylinder Ford and Mazda applications. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle year, make, and model.

What does 'BiMetal' construction mean for these bearings?

BiMetal construction refers to the layered material used in these bearings, typically a steel backing for strength with a bearing alloy surface. In this case, the bearing alloy is a lead-free aluminum silicon, chosen for its durability and journal conditioning properties.

Product Details

This is a Clevite connecting rod bearing set, part number CB723A30(6), designed for a range of Ford and Mazda 6-cylinder engines from 1972 through 2009. These bearings are a crucial part of your engine's rotating assembly, sitting between the connecting rod and the crankshaft to reduce friction and wear. If you're rebuilding your engine or replacing worn bearings, this set is built to carry on a tradition of durability.

Clevite uses a BiMetal aluminum silicon construction in these bearings, which is 100% lead-free. They've engineered these with 60% more silicon than many other replacement bearings. This higher silicon content helps to better condition the journal surfaces they ride on, leading to improved resistance against seizure and wear. This means they can handle the stresses of regular operation and help protect your crankshaft.

This set is a solid option for many Ford applications like the Ranger, Explorer, and Mustang, as well as Mazda B4000 trucks. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
