Sealed Power 4-3545A Engine Connecting Rod Bearing Set

Sealed Power 4-3545A is an OE replacement engine connecting rod bearing set for Ford 2.3L OHC L4 applications. Built with A-Series aluminum bearings and standard-size dimensions, it is specified for engines that need precise rod bearing service in Ford Ranger, Mustang, Thunderbird, and related Mazda and Mercury models.

Key Features

  • OE replacement engine connecting rod bearing set
  • Standard size for factory-style service
  • Full rod set configuration
  • A-Series aluminum bearing material
  • Designed for Ford 2.3L OHC inline 4-cylinder engines
  • Part number: 4-3545A

Detailed Description

Sealed Power 4-3545A is engineered for Ford 2.3L OHC L4 engines that require standard-size connecting rod bearings. The bearing dimensions are matched to the listed housing bore and shaft specifications, with controlled oil clearance ranges to support proper crankshaft lubrication and bearing fit. This part is a direct OE-style replacement for service work on vehicles such as the Ford Ranger, Ford Mustang, and Mazda B2300/B2500 when the engine configuration matches the listed application.

Sealed Power uses modern materials and ISO- and QS-certified manufacturing processes to produce engine components for demanding repair environments. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., K984P4) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Rod bearing wear from high mileage or oil contamination
  • Low oil pressure symptoms related to bearing clearance issues
  • Engine knock or rod noise tied to worn connecting rod bearings
  • Service replacement during engine rebuilds or bottom-end repairs
  • Restoration work on Ford 2.3L OHC engines in Ranger and Mustang platforms

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify crankshaft journal size, housing bore, and oil clearance before installation. This standard-size set is intended for engines that have not been machined beyond the listed dimensions. Clean all bearing surfaces thoroughly, follow factory torque procedures, and confirm proper lubrication during assembly. Always match the engine code and displacement to the vehicle fitment before ordering.
