What does the +0.25mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.25mm sizing indicates that these bearings are designed for crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.25 millimeters. This is typically done during an engine rebuild to correct wear on the original crankshaft.

What is the construction of these connecting rod bearings?

These bearings feature a bimetal construction, which means they are made from multiple layers of material. Specifically, they have an aluminum base, which is a common and effective material for bearing surfaces in many engines.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a connecting rod bearing set. It includes all the necessary bearings for the connecting rods on your specified engine, ensuring you have the correct components for a balanced rebuild.

About this part

Product Details

These connecting rod bearings from King Engine Bearings are built with a bimetal construction, featuring an aluminum base. This design is crucial for the 1600cc engines found in the 1981-1986 Ford Escort, Mercury Lynx, and other compatible models. When you're rebuilding or refreshing the engine in your classic Escort, ensuring the connecting rod bearings are in good shape is key to proper oil pressure and smooth operation.

The CR436AM0.25 set is specifically sized at +0.25mm, meaning they are intended for crankshaft journals that have been machined down by that amount. This is a common practice when addressing wear on the crankshaft during an engine rebuild. King Engine Bearings is a well-known name in the engine component world, and these bearings are made to meet the demands of the 98Ci and 110Ci engines.

When installing these bearings, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures for cleaning the crankshaft journals and connecting rod caps, as well as proper oil clearance checks. This set is designed to fit right into your 1981-1986 Ford Escort, Mercury LN7, or Mercury Lynx, helping to restore the health of your engine.
