Clevite CB-296P High Performance P-Series Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite CB-296P is a high-performance P-Series connecting rod bearing set engineered to exceed OEM standards for strength and durability in demanding applications. These precision-machined bearings feature superior materials and quality construction that protect vital engine components from the harmful effects of friction, helping extend engine life in performance and racing environments.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design for severe high-RPM applications where extreme rod bore close-in occurs
• Hardened steel back construction for added strength and superior fretting resistance
• High crush design ensures maximum bearing retention in the rod bore
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and "hen tracking" under severe loads
• Tri-Metal construction with lead-tin-copper overlay for optimal durability
• Engineered to handle extreme RPMs and severe operating conditions

Application Guidelines:

P-Series rod bearings are specifically designed for engines experiencing severe rod bore distortion at extremely high RPMs, typically indicated by nearly full parting line to parting line shaft contact. The high eccentricity design helps prevent oil starvation by maintaining proper oil film thickness even under extreme bearing deflection. These bearings are ideal for circle track racing, drag racing, road racing, and other high-performance applications where engine speeds regularly exceed stock limits.

Important: Clevite rod bearings are sold as paired sets (two bearing halves for one connecting rod). For a complete 6-cylinder engine, order quantity of 6 sets. For an 8-cylinder engine, order quantity of 8 sets.
