Clevite MB3562P P-Series Tri-Metal Main Bearing

The Clevite MB3562P is a precision-engineered main bearing from the legendary P-Series lineup, designed specifically for high-revving performance and competition engines. As one of the oldest and most trusted members of the Clevite 77 bearing family, P-Series bearings have proven their reliability in demanding applications for decades.

Advanced Tri-Metal Construction:

• Hardened steel backing provides superior strength and resistance to fretting
• Cast copper-lead intermediate layer withstands extreme loads of high-performance engine operation
• Electroplated babbitt overlay on running surface delivers exceptional bearing surface qualities
• Tri-metal design offers superior conformability, embedability, and fatigue resistance compared to bi-metal bearings

Performance Features:

• High eccentricity design compensates for increased load factors and distortion in high-RPM engines
• High crush factor ensures maximum retention and prevents bearing movement
• Full groove oil distribution on most applications extends around both bearing halves for optimal lubrication
• Reduced overlay thickness helps prevent overlay fatigue (hen tracking) common in extreme conditions
• Enlarged chamfers provide greater crankshaft fillet clearance

P-Series bearings are ideal for engines experiencing severe rod bore close-in at extremely high RPMs. This bearing delivers the perfect balance of strength, durability, and surface characteristics not typically found in original equipment or competitive bi-metal bearings, making it the preferred choice for engine builders and racers who demand maximum reliability under extreme conditions.
