Clevite CB1226P P-Series Connecting Rod Bearing - Set

The Clevite CB1226P is a high-performance P-Series connecting rod bearing set engineered for demanding applications where extreme RPMs and severe loads are encountered. Manufactured to exceed OEM standards, these bearings feature TriMetal construction with a hardened steel back for exceptional strength and resistance to fretting.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design to handle severe rod bore close-in at high RPM
• Hardened steel backing provides superior strength and durability
• High crush design ensures maximum retention in the connecting rod
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and hen tracking
• Quality construction protects against friction-related wear and damage

P-Series bearings are specifically designed for engines experiencing extreme operating conditions where standard bearings show nearly full parting line contact patterns. The increased eccentricity helps prevent rod bearing oil starvation, which typically manifests as surface polishing, smearing, and discoloration at the bearing's axial center. These bearings are ideal for high-performance builds, racing applications, and any engine subjected to sustained high-RPM operation.

This bearing set utilizes lead-tin-copper overlay for excellent wear resistance while maintaining the conformability needed for high-performance applications. The precision-engineered design ensures proper oil flow and heat dissipation, extending bearing life even under extreme stress.

Each set includes two bearing halves for one connecting rod. For a complete 6-cylinder engine rebuild, order quantity 6. For an 8-cylinder engine, order quantity 8.
