Clevite High Performance P-Series Rod Bearing Set

Clevite High Performance P-Series connecting rod bearings are built for engine builders and rebuilders who need dependable bearing protection in demanding, high-RPM applications. They are the oldest line in Clevite's 77 performance bearing family. They are engineered as a performance part, not a standard passenger-car replacement bearing. Use them for engine rebuilds, performance builds, and heavy-duty duty applications that call for a durable connecting rod bearing.

Key Features:

• Performance-oriented design: Intended for high-revving engines, especially where extreme RPM causes severe rod bore close-in.
• Hardened steel backing: Adds strength and resistance to fretting.
• High crush: Helps keep the bearing firmly seated in the rod for maximum retention.
• Reduced overlay thickness: Helps prevent overlay fatigue, sometimes called hen tracking.
• Greater eccentricity: Rod bearings in this series typically have the most eccentricity of Clevite's performance lines. This helps manage rod bore distortion at high RPM.
• Distinct performance part numbers: These parts have their own core part numbers. They are different from standard passenger car and light truck bearings that also carry a "P" suffix.

Clevite is a long-established name in engine bearings, and the P-Series reflects its performance heritage. Select the correct part number for your engine and the bearing size your crankshaft and rods require.
