Clevite CB-1357P-20 P-Series Connecting Rod Bearing - Set

Clevite CB-1357P-20 is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set from the legendary P-Series line. These precision-engineered bearings are designed for demanding applications where maximum durability and oil flow are critical. Each set includes two bearing shells for one connecting rod.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design prevents bearing distress at extreme 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 bearing construction for legendary strength and durability
• Optimized for engines experiencing severe rod bore close-in at high RPM

Technical Specifications:

• Bearing Type: Connecting Rod Bearing Set (pair)
• Series: P-Series High Performance
• Size: 0.020" undersize
• Construction: TriMetal with hardened steel back
• Overlay: Reduced thickness lead-tin-copper
• Meets or exceeds OEM standards for strength and durability

The P-Series is Clevite's original high-performance bearing line, engineered specifically for racing and high-output engines. The increased eccentricity design is ideal for applications where standard bearings show excessive parting line contact, indicating rod bore distortion at high RPM. The hardened steel backing provides exceptional strength to resist the extreme loads found in competition engines.

These bearings feature higher crush than standard bearings to maintain proper retention even under severe operating conditions. The reduced overlay thickness helps prevent the overlay fatigue that can occur in high-load applications, extending bearing life and maintaining oil film integrity.

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