How many connecting rod bearings do I need for my Jeep's engine?

For the 226 cubic inch engine in your Jeep FC170, you will need three connecting rod bearings. These are specifically for the odd-numbered cylinders.

What does 'standard size' mean for these bearings?

Standard size means the bearing is manufactured to the original equipment manufacturer's specifications for a new crankshaft. If your crankshaft journals have been machined undersize during a rebuild, you would need a different size bearing.

Does this bearing come with any hardware?

This product is for a single connecting rod bearing. Hardware such as bolts or nuts is not included and should be sourced separately if needed for your engine rebuild.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the engine in your classic Jeep FC170, replacing worn internal components is key to getting back that original power. The connecting rod bearings are critical wear surfaces that sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. Over time, these can wear down, affecting engine performance and potentially causing damage if left unaddressed.

This Omix connecting rod bearing is a standard size replacement designed to fit the 226 cubic inch engines found in your 1963-1964 Jeep FC170. It's built to OE style specifications, meaning it will function just like the original part. You'll need three of these bearings for the odd-numbered cylinders when you're putting your engine back together. Omix offers these as direct fit parts, making installation straightforward during your rebuild.
