What makes these Clevite bearings different from others?

These Clevite bearings are made with 100% lead-free aluminum silicon and contain 60% more silicon than many competing bearings. This advanced composition helps to condition the crankshaft journal surfaces for improved performance and durability.

What is the main benefit of improved journal conditioning?

Improved journal conditioning means the bearing surface is better prepared to interact with the crankshaft. This results in greater resistance to seizure, where the bearing can weld itself to the journal, and also reduces overall wear over time.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings. You will receive all the bearings needed for your engine's connecting rods in one package.
