What is the main benefit of the aluminum silicon material in these bearings?

The 100% lead-free aluminum silicon material has 60% more silicon than many other bearings. This helps to better condition the crankshaft journal surfaces, which in turn improves resistance to seizing and wear.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for the original equipment?

Yes, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are designed as a direct replacement for the specified Mazda 1998cc engines from 1988-1990, and are also verified to fit the listed Kia Sportage and Mazda models.

What does 'BiMetal' construction mean for these bearings?

BiMetal construction typically refers to a bearing made of two different metals bonded together. In this case, it's an aluminum silicon alloy bonded to a steel backing, providing both strength and good bearing surface properties.
