King Engine Bearings FIAT 147 (Size STD) Rod Bearing Set

If you're rebuilding the engine in your FIAT 147, a fresh set of connecting rod bearings is a critical part of the job. These bearings sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod, allowing the rod to rotate smoothly around the crank journal. Over time, wear on these surfaces can lead to increased clearances, oil pressure loss, and potential engine damage, so replacing them during an engine overhaul is standard practice.

This set from King Engine Bearings uses a bimetal construction with an aluminum base, which is a common and effective material for modern engine bearings. This design helps manage heat and provides a solid surface for the crankshaft to ride on. They are manufactured to standard (STD) size, meaning they are intended to be installed on a crankshaft with factory-spec journals. If your crankshaft journals have been machined, you would need a different size bearing set.

When installing these bearings, it's important to ensure the crankshaft journals are clean and within the manufacturer's specified tolerances. Proper lubrication during assembly is also key to their longevity. This set includes all the necessary rod bearings for your FIAT 147 engine.
