Clevite CB-1382P-.25MM High Performance P-Series Rod Bearings

Clevite CB-1382P-.25MM connecting rod bearings are engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards while delivering the enhanced performance characteristics demanded by high-output engines. These precision bearings feature TriMetal construction with superior materials that protect critical engine components from the damaging effects of friction and wear.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design for severe high-RPM applications
• Hardened steel backing for exceptional strength and fretting resistance
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and "hen tracking"
• High crush design ensures maximum retention in the connecting rod bore
• -.25MM undersize for use with reground crankshafts
• Engineered to handle extreme rod bore close-in at very high RPM

When to Use P-Series Bearings:

P-Series rod bearings are the ideal choice for engines experiencing severe rod bore distortion at extremely high RPM, typically indicated by nearly full parting line to parting line shaft contact. The greater eccentricity provides optimal load distribution under these demanding conditions. These bearings are particularly well-suited for race engines, forced induction applications, and any build where RPM levels exceed standard performance bearing capabilities.

Quality Construction:

Each bearing features Clevite's legendary TriMetal construction with a hardened steel back for durability, an intermediate layer for strength, and a precision overlay for conformability and wear resistance. The P-Series represents Clevite's original high-performance bearing design, proven in countless racing and performance applications over decades of competition use.

Important Notes:

• Sold as paired sets (two bearing halves for one connecting rod)
• For a 6-cylinder engine, order quantity of 6 sets
• -.25MM undersize specification requires professionally reground crankshaft
• Proper clearance checking and assembly procedures are essential

Clevite bearings are trusted by professional engine builders and racers worldwide for their consistent quality, precise tolerances, and exceptional durability under extreme operating conditions.
