Clevite CB-1856HN High Performance Connecting Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite CB-1856HN is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set engineered to exceed OEM standards for strength and durability in demanding engine applications. Built with Clevite's legendary TriMetal construction, these bearings provide superior protection against friction and wear to extend engine life in both performance street and competition environments.

H-Series Performance Features:

• Medium eccentricity design optimized for medium to high RPM operation
• Hardened steel back construction for maximum strength and fretting resistance
• Thin overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and "hen tracking"
• High crush design ensures maximum bearing retention
• Enlarged chamfers provide greater crankshaft fillet clearance
• No flash plating for improved seating and contact
• Available with dowel holes for aluminum connecting rod applications

Ideal Applications:

H-Series bearings were originally developed for NASCAR-type racing but are suitable for all competition engines and high-performance street applications. Use these bearings with crankshafts featuring oversize fillets and in engines operating in the medium to high RPM range. The H-Series provides ideal contact patterns covering approximately 2/3 to 3/4 of the bearing surface, making them the best starting point when selecting performance bearings.

Technical Specifications:

• Lead-tin-copper overlay for excellent wear resistance
• Superior conformability protects against bearing edge loading
• Designed to handle severe operating conditions and sustained high loads
• Precision manufactured to tight tolerances for consistent performance

Important Note: Clevite bearings are sold as paired sets (two bearing halves for one connecting rod). For a 6-cylinder engine, order quantity 6. For an 8-cylinder engine, order quantity 8.
