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

The 60% higher silicon content compared to other replacements helps to better condition the crankshaft journal surfaces. This leads to improved seizure resistance and overall wear resistance for the engine.

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

Yes, these bearings are designed as a direct replacement for the connecting rod bearings in specified Ford V6 232 engines from 1982-1995. Always confirm fitment for your specific vehicle model and year.

What does 'bi-metal' mean in the context of engine bearings?

Bi-metal bearings, like these, are constructed with two different metal layers. Typically, a steel backing provides strength, while a softer bearing material like aluminum silicon is bonded to it to provide the running surface against the crankshaft.

Product Details

Clevite is known for making durable and dependable engine components, and these connecting rod bearings carry on that tradition. If you're rebuilding the engine in your Ford V6 232 from 1982 through 1995, these bearings are a solid choice for ensuring proper lubrication and reducing friction between the connecting rod and crankshaft. They are designed to fit a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from that era, including popular models like the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable.

These bi-metal bearings are made with 100% lead-free aluminum silicon. What's notable is that they contain 60% more silicon than many other replacement bearings. This higher silicon content helps to better condition the crankshaft journal surfaces they run against, which in turn leads to greater resistance against seizure and wear. This means your engine's rotating assembly can handle more miles and harder use over time.
