Clevite CB-1616P-10 High Performance P-Series Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite CB-1616P-10 is a high-performance P-Series connecting rod bearing set designed for demanding racing and performance engine applications. Each set includes two bearing halves for one connecting rod, featuring Clevite's legendary TriMetal construction that exceeds OEM standards for strength and durability.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design to prevent rod bore close-in at extremely high RPMs
• Hardened steel back for superior strength and fretting resistance
• High crush design ensures maximum bearing retention under severe loads
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and hen tracking
• Engineered to handle severe operating conditions where standard bearings fail

Technical Specifications:

• TriMetal construction with lead-tin-copper overlay
• Hardened steel backing for extreme durability
• Standard clearance (extra clearance versions available separately)
• Sold as paired sets - two bearings for one connecting rod

P-Series bearings are Clevite's oldest and most proven high-performance bearing line, specifically engineered for extreme RPM applications. The high eccentricity design prevents the nearly full parting line contact that occurs with lower eccentricity bearings under severe loads. These bearings excel in racing engines and high-output builds where standard bearings experience rapid wear from rod bore distortion and oil starvation.

Application Notes: When ordering for a complete engine, multiply the number of connecting rods by one. For example, a 6-cylinder engine requires quantity 6, an 8-cylinder requires quantity 8. Each set services one connecting rod journal.
