Detailed Description

Sealed Power 10-1985A is engineered for engine rebuild and repair work where correct connecting rod bearing dimensions matter. The standard-size design and controlled oil-clearance range help maintain the bearing fit required in Ford A-Series aluminum engines, making this part a direct match for service on applications such as the Ford E-350 Super Duty, F-250 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty, and Excursion. Sealed Power uses modern materials and ISO- and QS-certified manufacturing processes to produce components that meet demanding engine service requirements.

This part number, 10-1985A, is a practical choice when replacing worn rod bearings during a bottom-end refresh or full engine overhaul. It is also referenced by CB1442A10 and CB1442P for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rod bearing wear that can create low oil pressure or noisy operation
• Excessive bearing clearance from engine wear
• Scoring or damage found during teardown of the rotating assembly
• Restoration of proper crankshaft-to-rod bearing fit during rebuilds
• Service replacement for Ford A-Series aluminum engine applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify crankshaft journal size and housing bore before installation.
• Measure oil clearance during assembly to confirm it falls within specification.
• Inspect connecting rods and crankshaft surfaces for scoring, taper, or out-of-round conditions.
• Use clean assembly practices and proper engine lubricant during installation.
• Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model before ordering; fitment includes 1997-2017 Ford E-350 variants, 1999-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty, and 2000-2005 Ford Excursion.
