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

The 60% higher silicon content compared to other bearings helps to better condition the journal surfaces. This leads to improved resistance against seizure and wear, promoting a longer lifespan for your engine's crankshaft and connecting rods.

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

Yes, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are designed as a direct replacement for the specified Volkswagen and Audi engines. They are intended to fit and function like the original equipment bearings.

What does 'BiMetal' mean in the context of these bearings?

BiMetal construction typically refers to a bearing made of two different metal layers. In this case, it's an aluminum silicon alloy bonded to a steel backing, providing a strong yet conformable bearing surface.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your Volkswagen or Audi, getting the connecting rod bearings right is key. These Clevite BiMetal bearings are made with a lead-free aluminum silicon alloy that's well-built for durability and dependability. They carry on a tradition of quality that mechanics have relied on for years.

What makes these bearings stand out is their high silicon content – Clevite uses 60% more silicon than many other replacement bearings. This advanced material helps to better condition the journal surfaces they run against, which means improved resistance to seizure and wear. This translates to a longer life for your engine's rotating assembly, especially when you're pushing your engine a bit harder.

This set fits a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi engines, including popular models like the Golf, Jetta, Passat, and Audi A4. They are a solid option for anyone looking to ensure their engine rebuild is done right with reliable components.
