Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your classic Ford or Mercury, getting the crankshaft supported correctly is key. This Clevite main bearing set is designed to replace the original bearings in a wide range of 1950s Ford and Mercury models, including popular trucks like the F-100 and F-250, as well as cars like the Fairlane and Customline.

These bearings are built to handle the demands of a rebuilt engine. They feature a tri-metal construction, which is a standard for many performance and heavy-duty applications, offering good embeddability and a strong overlay for durability. The 0.010 inch undersize means these are intended for crankshafts that have been machined down to compensate for wear or damage during the rebuild process. Proper installation, including ensuring the crankshaft journals are clean and within the specified machining tolerance, is crucial for these bearings to perform as intended.

When you're putting an engine back together, using well-built components like these Clevite bearings helps ensure a solid foundation for your rebuild. Make sure to check your specific vehicle's service manual for the correct installation procedures and torque specifications.
