What is the main function of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. Their main job is to create a low-friction surface that allows the rod to rotate smoothly around the crank while maintaining a thin film of oil for lubrication and cooling.

What material are these Clevite bearings made from?

These Clevite bearings are constructed from a tri-metal material. This type of material is chosen for its balance of strength, wear resistance, and conformability, which is important for handling the high loads in an engine.

Do I need to measure my crankshaft before ordering these bearings?

The part number CB1401A50MM(4) indicates these are standard size bearings for the specified applications. If your crankshaft has been previously machined or is out of spec, you may need to measure it and order undersize bearings. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific recommendations.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the bottom end of your engine, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial for long-term health. These Clevite connecting rod bearings are designed to replace the worn-out ones in a variety of vehicles, including models like the Geo Metro, Suzuki Samurai, and Pontiac Sunbird, ensuring your engine runs smoothly.

These bearings are made with a tri-metal material that offers good strength and wear resistance, which is important for handling the constant forces they endure. They're built to the correct size, so they fit right onto your connecting rods and crankshaft, allowing oil to flow properly and keep everything lubricated. Proper lubrication is key to preventing friction and heat buildup, which can lead to serious engine damage.

Having a fresh set of connecting rod bearings is a smart move when you're working on an older engine. They're a relatively small part of the overall rebuild, but they make a big difference in how quietly and reliably your engine will run for years to come.
