Description

If you’ve noticed a knock or rattling sound coming from your Ford N series engine, worn rod bearings could be the culprit. These connecting rod bearings support the connecting rods as they move up and down with the pistons, and when they wear out, you’ll hear it loud and clear. This .010 inch undersize bearing set lets you rebuild your engine with a slightly turned crankshaft, giving your old Ford another lease on life.

What You’re Getting

Complete set of four bearings – enough for a complete four-cylinder engine rebuild
TISCO quality construction that meets or exceeds original specifications
.010 inch undersize design works with reground crankshafts for proper clearances
Precision-manufactured bearing surfaces for smooth operation and long service life

Built for Real Farm Work

These rod bearings fit Ford’s legendary N series tractors including the 9N, 2N, and 8N models that have been workhorses on farms since the late 1930s. Whether your tractor’s pulling a plow, running a brush hog, or powering the PTO for your hay baler, these bearings handle the constant stress and vibration that comes with farm work.

Made to Last

Engine bearings take tremendous abuse from the constant pounding of pistons and connecting rods. These bearings are manufactured with the proper materials and heat treatment to handle the loads and temperatures inside your engine. The bearing material provides excellent wear resistance while maintaining the oil film needed for proper lubrication.

Installation Notes

Rod bearing replacement requires complete engine disassembly and is typically done during a full rebuild along with rings, gaskets, and other wear items. The .010 undersize specification means your crankshaft will need to be turned .010 inch undersize by a machine shop before installation. Always check your crankshaft journals with a micrometer to ensure proper sizing before assembly.
