King Engine Bearings Chrysler 226 (3.7L) (Size +0.25mm) Connecting Rod Bearing Set

These connecting rod bearings from King Engine Bearings are built with a bimetal construction, featuring an aluminum silicon base. This material choice is important because it helps manage heat and wear in a high-stress area like the connecting rod journal. They are specifically sized at +0.25mm, meaning they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by that amount during an engine rebuild. This set is designed to fit a range of vehicles, including popular models like the Dodge Dakota, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Mitsubishi Raider equipped with the 3.7L engine.

When you're rebuilding an engine, especially one that's seen some miles, replacing the connecting rod bearings is a critical step. King Engine Bearings is a well-known name in this area, and these bearings are made to meet the demands of the 3.7L engine. The aluminum silicon base offers good compatibility with the crankshaft surface and helps dissipate heat effectively, which is crucial for preventing bearing failure under load. Using the correct undersize or oversize bearing, like this +0.25mm set, ensures proper oil clearance and optimal performance after your crankshaft has been serviced.
