Clevite Rod Bearings Set Clevite connecting rod bearings come in a wide assortment of styles for a wide range of vehicles, from mild to wild.
Made to meet OEM standards for strength and durability, and will help bring extra life to your engine.
Its quality construction and superior materials protect vital parts from the harmful effects of friction.
Additionally, there are thousands of applications, with subtle differences covering numerous variations and uses.
So you can find the bearings you need for your engineer.
P-Series Bearings These are not to be confused with standard passenger car and light truck parts for the same retaining applications that also have a P suffix letter.
These high-performance parts have unique part numbers different from standard parts for the same application.
P series parts are the oldest series of high performance Clevite bearings.
Rod bearings in this series typically have the greatest amount of eccentricity.
Most rod bearings are available with or without holes for use on aluminum rods.
Most P-series main assemblies are fully honed to maximize oil flow to the rod bearings.
Both the rods and net have a high crush for max retention, and a reduced thickness to prevent overlap fatigue, sometimes known as hen crawl.
Rod bearings use a hardened steel backing for added strength and fret resistance.
Extra clearance bar bearings available for .001 additional clearance and select adjustment.
Use P series strings where extremely high RPMs cause the bass rod holes to close.
This is normally indicated by the almost complete parking line at contact of the bearing shaft with bearings that have less eccentricity.
Use P series networks where greater eccentricity is desired to narrow contact patterns and provide increased oil to excess.
Rod bearing oil starvation is usually indicated by dulling and staining of the bearing surface, possibly accompanied by discoloration concentrated predominantly on the shaft.
