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

The higher silicon content, 60% more than comparable replacements, helps to better condition the journal surfaces. This leads to improved seizure resistance and greater wear resistance for the engine's crankshaft.

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

Yes, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the specified Ford V6 engines. They are intended to fit without modification.

What does 'CB1283A50MM(6)' mean in the part number?

Product Details

Clevite has a long-standing reputation for building durable and dependable engine components. This connecting rod bearing set continues that tradition, specifically designed for Ford V6 engines from 1982 through 1995. These bearings are crucial for the smooth operation of your engine, reducing friction between the connecting rod and the crankshaft.

What sets these Clevite bearings apart is their construction. They are made from 100% lead-free aluminum silicon bi-metal. This material is engineered with 60% more silicon compared to many other replacement bearings. This higher silicon content helps to better condition the journal surfaces they run against, leading to improved seizure resistance and overall wear resistance. This means your engine's rotating assembly can handle more miles and maintain its integrity under load.

This set fits a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles from the early 80s through the mid-90s, including popular models like the Ford Mustang, Taurus, and Thunderbird. If you're rebuilding or repairing your Ford V6 engine, these bearings are a solid option to ensure proper lubrication and long-term durability.
