What is the purpose of the oil hole in these bearings?

The oil hole is designed to help distribute oil more effectively to the bearing surface. This improved lubrication is critical for reducing friction and heat, which helps prevent premature wear on both the bearing and the crankshaft journal.

What does '.050' mean for these connecting rod bearings?

The '.050' indicates that these bearings are 0.050 inches undersize compared to a standard bearing. This sizing is used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.050 inches to remove imperfections or to prepare for new bearings during an engine rebuild.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a connecting rod bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary bearings for the connecting rods on your engine. Typically, a set will contain enough bearings for all the connecting rods in the engine.

About this part

Product Details

Built with a bimetal aluminum silicon base, these King Engine Bearings connecting rod bearings are designed to fit engines with a .050 inch undersize. This specific material composition helps manage heat and wear, which is crucial for the demanding environment inside an engine. They are intended for Jeep and Rambler engines displacing 232, 242, and 248 cubic inches, commonly found in a wide range of vehicles from the mid-60s through the early 90s.

These bearings are an updated option compared to the CR 648SI model, featuring an oil hole for improved lubrication. Proper oil flow is essential for preventing premature wear and ensuring the longevity of your engine's rotating assembly. When you're rebuilding or refreshing an engine, using well-made bearings like these helps ensure that the crankshaft spins smoothly within the connecting rods, reducing friction and heat buildup.
