Clevite CB-1598P High Performance P-Series Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite CB-1598P is a high-performance P-Series connecting rod bearing set designed to meet or exceed OEM standards for strength and durability. Engineered with superior materials and quality construction, these bearings protect vital engine components from the harmful effects of friction while extending engine life.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design for severe high-RPM applications
• Hardened steel back construction for added strength and fretting resistance
• High crush design ensures maximum retention in the rod bore
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and "hen tracking"
• Full-grooved main bearing sets maximize oil flow to rod bearings
• TriMetal bearing construction for legendary durability

Application Guidelines: P-Series rod bearings are ideal for engines experiencing extremely high RPMs that cause severe rod bore close-in, typically indicated by nearly full parting line to parting line shaft contact. Use P-Series mains where higher eccentricity is needed to narrow bearing contact patterns and provide increased oiling to rod bearings, preventing oil starvation that appears as polishing and smearing on the bearing surface.

These bearings feature unique core part numbers distinct from standard passenger car applications with P suffix designations. Rod bearings are available with or without dowel holes for compatibility with aluminum connecting rods.

Note: Clevite bearings are sold as paired sets (two bearing halves for one rod). For a 6-cylinder engine, order quantity 6.
