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

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

Are these bearings suitable for a performance engine build?

These bearings are built with durability and wear resistance in mind, making them a solid option for standard engine rebuilds. For high-performance applications, it's always best to consult with an engine builder to ensure specific component compatibility.

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

Bi-metal bearings have two distinct layers. In this case, it refers to the combination of a steel backing for strength and an aluminum silicon overlay that provides the bearing surface for smooth operation against the crankshaft journal.

Product Details

Clevite has a long-standing reputation for building durable and dependable engine components. These connecting rod bearings carry on that tradition, specifically designed for your 1977-1985 Mazda GLC with 1272, 1324, 1415, or 1490cc engines. They play a crucial role in your engine's bottom end, ensuring smooth rotation of the crankshaft within the connecting rods.

What sets these bearings apart is their construction. They are made from a bi-metal aluminum silicon alloy that is 100% lead-free. Clevite engineers these with 60% more silicon compared to many other replacement bearings. This higher silicon content helps to better condition the journal surfaces they ride on, which in turn leads to improved resistance against seizure and wear. This means your engine's rotating assembly can operate more reliably for longer.

When you're rebuilding or refreshing the engine in your classic Mazda, using well-built bearings like these from Clevite is a smart choice for ensuring the longevity of your build.
