Clevite CB-1798H-1 High Performance Connecting Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite CB-1798H-1 is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set engineered for demanding racing and competition applications. These H-Series bearings feature a hardened steel back for superior strength, thin overlay construction to prevent fatigue, and medium eccentricity for optimal load distribution across 2/3 to 3/4 of the bearing surface.

H-Series Performance Features:

• Hardened steel backing provides exceptional strength and resistance to fretting
• Medium eccentricity design balances contact pattern width with oil flow
• High crush construction ensures maximum bearing retention in the bore
• Thin overlay prevents overlay fatigue and "hen tracking" in high-RPM applications
• Enlarged chamfers provide greater crankshaft fillet clearance
• Manufactured without flash plating for improved bearing seating
• TriMetal construction meets or exceeds OEM standards for durability

Application Notes:

Originally developed for NASCAR-type racing, H-Series bearings excel in all forms of competition engines running medium to high RPM ranges. Use H-Series bearings with crankshafts featuring oversized fillets or when P-Series contact patterns prove too narrow. These bearings protect against the harmful effects of friction while maintaining proper oil clearances under extreme loads.

Package Contents:

This listing includes one paired bearing set (two bearing halves for one connecting rod). For a complete engine rebuild, order one set per cylinder—for example, a 6-cylinder engine requires quantity of 6 sets.
