Clevite CB-1226P-40 High Performance P-Series Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite CB-1226P-40 is a high-performance P-Series connecting rod bearing set designed for demanding racing and performance applications. Each set includes two bearing shells for one connecting rod, providing the precision fit and durability required for high-RPM engines.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design prevents rod bore close-in at extremely high RPMs
• Hardened steel back construction for superior strength and fretting resistance
• High crush design ensures maximum bearing retention in the rod bore
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and "hen tracking"
• TriMetal construction with lead-tin-copper overlay for excellent durability
• Available with .040" undersize for use with machined crankshafts

When to Choose P-Series:

P-Series bearings are ideal for extreme high-RPM applications where severe rod bore distortion causes excessive parting line contact. The high eccentricity design maintains proper oil film distribution even under extreme loads. These bearings are engineered to prevent rod bearing oil starvation, which typically appears as surface polishing, smearing, and discoloration at the bearing's axial center.

Professional Installation Recommended:

Clevite performance bearings meet or exceed OEM standards and are manufactured with precise tolerances for competition use. Proper clearance checking and careful installation are essential for optimal performance and engine longevity.

Important: This listing is for ONE bearing set (two shells for one rod). For a complete 6-cylinder engine, order quantity 6. For an 8-cylinder engine, order quantity 8.
