Detailed Description

Sealed Power 6-3830CPA is engineered for engine connecting rod bearing service where standard-size dimensions are required. The bearing dimensions and oil clearance specifications support proper crankshaft fitment in the listed Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln engines, including 1989-1995 Ford Taurus, 1989-1995 Ford Thunderbird, 1994-1995 Ford Mustang, 1989-1995 Mercury Cougar, and 1989-1994 Lincoln Continental applications. This part number, 6-3830CPA, is also referenced for earlier non-standard copper-lead alloy applications with overplating in select 1982-1988 and 1983-1986 vehicles.

This part cross-references CB1283P6 and CR6619SI for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring proper connecting rod bearing surface in a rebuilt engine
• Addressing bearing wear found during teardown or inspection
• Maintaining crankshaft oil clearance within specification
• Replacing worn bearings in Ford Mustang, Taurus, Thunderbird, and related V8 applications
• Supporting engine service where standard-size bearing dimensions are specified

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify crankshaft journal size before installation; standard-size bearings are intended for engines that have not been ground beyond the listed limits.
• Review the application notes carefully, especially where crankshaft regrinding beyond 0.50 mm is not recommended.
• Measure housing bore and oil clearance during assembly to confirm proper fit.
• Clean all bearing surfaces and fastener areas before final engine assembly.
• Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and engine specification against the fitment data before ordering.
