Construction & Design:

The Clevite Bi-Metal bearings feature a robust aluminum-silicon alloy that is lead-free, promoting both environmental safety and engine health. The increased silicon content enhances the bearing’s ability to form a protective layer on the crankshaft journal, reducing metal-to-metal contact and minimizing wear. This advanced material composition also improves heat dissipation and resistance to seizure, critical factors for maintaining engine integrity during high-load operation.

Manufactured with tight tolerances and rigorous quality control, these bearings provide consistent thickness and surface finish, ensuring proper oil film formation and reliable performance. The bi-metal design combines a durable steel backing with the aluminum-silicon overlay, delivering strength and flexibility to withstand engine stresses.

Installation & Fitment:

Designed as a direct replacement for original equipment bearings, the Clevite Bi-Metal Engine Con Rod Bearing Set installs easily with no modifications required. Proper installation involves cleaning and inspecting the connecting rods and crankshaft journals, followed by precise measurement of bearing clearances to ensure optimal oil flow and fit. These bearings are compatible with a wide range of Jeep, Dodge, and Mitsubishi engines, covering models such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee (1999–2010), Dodge Dakota (1997–2011), Dodge Durango (1998–2009), Dodge Ram 1500 (2002–2010), Jeep Commander (2005–2010), and Mitsubishi Raider (2006–2007).

For best results, professional installation is recommended to verify bearing clearances and torque specifications according to manufacturer guidelines.
