Clevite CB-1619P-10 P-Series Connecting Rod Bearings

The Clevite CB-1619P-10 is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set engineered to exceed OEM standards for strength and durability in demanding applications. Part of Clevite's legendary P-Series line, these bearings feature premium TriMetal construction with superior materials designed to protect vital engine components from the harmful effects of friction and wear.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design for extreme high-RPM applications
• Hardened steel back for added strength and resistance to fretting
• High crush design ensures maximum retention in the bore
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and hen tracking
• Optimized for engines experiencing severe rod bore close-in at high RPM
• Ideal for racing and high-performance street applications

Technical Specifications:

• TriMetal bearing construction with lead-tin-copper overlay
• Hardened steel backing material
• High eccentricity profile for concentrated load distribution
• Designed for use with stock or performance crankshafts
• Available with or without dowel holes for aluminum rod compatibility

P-Series bearings are specifically recommended where extremely high RPMs cause severe rod bore deformation, typically indicated by nearly full parting line to parting line shaft contact. The increased eccentricity helps narrow bearing contact patterns and provides improved oil flow to prevent rod bearing starvation, which often manifests as polishing, smearing, or discoloration at the bearing's axial center.

Application Notes:

• Each set includes two bearing halves for one connecting rod
• Order quantity matches cylinder count (e.g., quantity 6 for 6-cylinder engines)
• Proper clearance checking and select fitting recommended for optimal performance
• Not flash plated for improved seating characteristics

Clevite bearings are trusted by professional engine builders and racers worldwide for their consistent quality, precise manufacturing tolerances, and proven durability under extreme conditions. Whether you're building a competition engine or a high-performance street motor, Clevite P-Series bearings deliver the protection and reliability your engine demands.
