Clevite High-Performance Connecting Rod Bearing Set

Clevite H-Series high-performance connecting rod bearings are built for performance and racing engines. They suit builders who want a stronger rod bearing than a standard replacement part. Also called H-Series rod bearings or tri-metal performance rod bearings, they were developed primarily for NASCAR-type racing. They also suit many other types of competition engines.

Key Features:

• Tri-metal construction: Clevite's tri-metal design pairs a hardened steel back with a copper-lead alloy middle layer and a thin overlay. This gives high load capacity and good seizure resistance.
• High crush factor: Strong bearing retention in the rod bore.
• Medium eccentricity: A balanced bearing profile for performance use.
• Enlarged chamfers: Extra clearance for crankshafts with oversize fillet radii.
• No flash plating: Helps the bearing seat better.
• Built for higher RPM: Especially suited to engines that run in the medium to high RPM range.

Clevite recommends H-Series bearings as a good starting point when you are unsure which performance bearing to choose. They are also a common choice when contact patterns with P-Series bearings are too narrow. Ideal contact patterns cover about two-thirds to three-quarters of the bearing surface. Options such as extra oil clearance, narrowed widths and dowel-hole designs vary by part number. Select the correct variant for your engine and crankshaft specifications.
