Detailed Description

Sealed Power 8-2000CPA is engineered for classic engine rebuild work where maintaining factory-style dimensions matters. The standard-size bearing dimensions, controlled housing bore, and specified oil clearance range support proper rod bearing fitment during restoration of older Ford and Mercury engines. This part number is a practical choice for rebuilders working on 1954-1964 Ford F-100, 1954-1964 Ford F-250, 1954-1964 Ford F-350, 1955-1958 Ford Thunderbird, and 1957-1962 Mercury Colony Park applications. This part cross-references CB461P8 and CR810AM for the same application.

Common Uses

• Restoring low-mileage or original-spec engine assemblies
• Replacing worn connecting rod bearings during a rebuild
• Correcting rod bearing clearance issues found during teardown
• Supporting smoother crankshaft-to-rod interface in vintage engines
• Returning classic Ford and Mercury engines to standard-size service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify crankshaft journal size, rod bore condition, and measured oil clearance before final assembly. Because this is a standard-size bearing set, it should be matched to an engine that has not been machined beyond standard dimensions. Clean all bearing surfaces thoroughly, follow the engine builder’s torque specifications, and confirm clearances with proper measuring tools during assembly. Fits 1954-1964 Ford F-100, N/A.
