Description
What it is
The rod bearing set for the 7.3L Power Stroke in Clevite's P-Series tri-metal construction: a steel back for crush, a copper-lead layer for load, and a soft overlay that embeds debris instead of scoring the crank. It is the standard choice for a stock or mildly tuned 7.3 rebuild where you want OE-plus durability rather than a race-only coated bearing.
Fits
1994–2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke in F-250/350/450/550 Super Duty and OBS trucks, E-series vans and Excursion. Standard size only: measure your crank; if it has been ground, order the matching undersize instead.
What's in the box
Bearings for all 8 rods (upper and lower shells), standard size.
Installation
Engine-out or pan-off job for a shop or experienced builder: check journals, plastigauge each position to the 0.0011–0.0041" range, lubricate with assembly lube, torque rod bolts to Ford spec (new rod bolts recommended).
Why Clevite
Clevite (MAHLE) supplies OE engine bearings to most US truck makers and the P-Series has been the default repair bearing for decades. For a diesel that regularly sees 300k miles, a known bearing beats a bargain one.
Fits
1994–2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke V8 diesel (F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, E-350/E-450, Excursion). Standard size for an unmachined crank, .010/.020/.030 undersizes are separate part numbers.
