Clevite CB-1226P-10 High Performance P-Series Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite CB-1226P-10 is a high-performance P-Series connecting rod bearing set engineered for demanding applications where extreme RPMs and severe operating conditions require maximum durability. These bearings feature hardened steel backs for added strength and resistance to fretting, along with high crush for maximum retention in the rod bore.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design prevents rod bore close-in at extremely high RPM
• Hardened steel back construction for superior strength and fretting resistance
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and hen tracking
• High crush design ensures maximum bearing retention
• TriMetal construction exceeds OEM standards for strength and durability
• Engineered to protect against oil starvation conditions

Application Notes:

P-Series rod bearings are specifically designed for engines experiencing severe rod bore close-in caused by extremely high RPM operation. The increased eccentricity helps maintain proper oil clearance and prevents the nearly full parting line contact that occurs with lower eccentricity bearings under extreme loads. These bearings are ideal for high-performance and racing applications where standard bearings fail due to excessive RPM and cylinder pressures.

This bearing set includes two bearing halves for one connecting rod. TriMetal construction provides a robust aluminum-tin barrier layer over a steel back, with a thin overlay designed to resist fatigue while maintaining excellent conformability and embeddability. Available with or without dowel holes for compatibility with both steel and aluminum connecting rods.

Note: Sold as a paired set (two bearings for one rod). For a 6-cylinder engine, order quantity 6; for an 8-cylinder engine, order quantity 8.
