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

The higher silicon content, 60% more than many competitors, helps to better condition the crankshaft journal surfaces. This leads to improved seizure resistance and overall wear resistance for the bearings.

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

Yes, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are designed as a direct fit replacement for the original equipment on compatible Ford 351W V8 engines. Always verify the part number against your vehicle's specifications.

What does 'Bi-Metal' mean in the context of these bearings?

Bi-Metal bearings typically have a steel backing for strength and a bearing material layer on top. In this case, the bearing material is a lead-free aluminum silicon alloy, chosen for its durability and journal conditioning properties.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Ford 351 Windsor V8, a fresh set of connecting rod bearings is essential. These Clevite Bi-Metal bearings are built with a lead-free aluminum silicon alloy that's well-made for durability. They carry on a tradition of dependability for engines from 1969 through 1998.

What sets these bearings apart is their composition: they contain 60% more silicon than many other replacement bearings. This advanced material helps to better condition the crankshaft journal surfaces they ride on, which in turn offers greater resistance to seizure and wear. This means your engine's rotating assembly can handle more miles and harder use.

This set is designed to fit a wide range of Ford vehicles equipped with the 351W engine, including popular models like the F-150, Bronco, and E-Series vans. Ensure you have the correct part number for your specific application.
