Clevite MB2580AL20 Connecting Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite MB2580AL20 is a precision-engineered connecting rod bearing set designed for demanding automotive applications. These bearings are manufactured to OE specifications to ensure proper clearances, oil flow, and durability in high-performance and heavy-duty engines.

Key Features:

• AL-Series Construction: Features aluminum alloy construction with specialized overlay for enhanced wear resistance and conformability
• Precision Tolerances: Manufactured to exact specifications for proper bearing clearance and oil film thickness
• .020" Undersize: Designed for crankshafts that have been machined .020" undersize during rebuilding or reconditioning
• Tri-Metal Design: Advanced tri-metal construction provides superior load-carrying capacity and durability
• Enhanced Lubricity: Special surface treatment promotes rapid break-in and reduces friction

Applications:

This bearing set is engineered for use in connecting rod applications where .020" undersize bearings are required. Commonly used in engine rebuilds and performance builds where the crankshaft has been ground to remove wear or damage.

Installation Notes:

Always verify bearing clearances using Plastigage or micrometers before final assembly. Ensure connecting rod bores and bearing surfaces are clean and free of debris. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for connecting rod bolts and use proper assembly lubricant during installation.

Note: Sold as a complete set for one engine. Verify application compatibility and bearing size requirements before installation.
