What does 'bimetal aluminum silicon base' mean for these bearings?

This refers to the material composition of the bearing surface. The bimetal construction uses an aluminum silicon alloy, which is known for its good wear resistance and ability to handle heat effectively. This helps the bearings last longer under the stresses of engine operation.

Are these bearings a standard size?

No, the 'SI060' in the part number indicates that these are a 0.060 inch undersize bearing set. This means they are intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.060 inches to correct for wear or damage.

What vehicles typically use these bearings?

These bearings are commonly found in Ford vehicles with 351CI or 400CI engines, such as the Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, and Ford Gran Torino. They also fit various Mercury and Lincoln models from the same era with compatible engines.

Product Details

Built with a bimetal aluminum silicon base, these King Engine Bearings rod bearings are a solid option for rebuilding or refreshing your Ford 351 cubic inch or 400 cubic inch engine. This material composition helps manage heat and wear, which is crucial for the demanding environment inside an engine's rotating assembly. They are designed to fit a wide range of Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles from the late 60s through the mid-80s, including popular models like the Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, and Mercury Cougar.

When you're putting an engine back together, the bearings are a critical component. They provide the necessary clearance between the crankshaft and connecting rod, allowing for smooth rotation while supporting significant loads. King Engine Bearings has been a well-known name in engine bearings for a long time, and this set reflects their focus on materials that can handle the stresses of daily driving and more. The CR813SI060 part number indicates these are a 0.060 inch undersize bearing set, which is important to note if you are machining your crankshaft.
