MAHLE CB-745P-1 P-Series Tri-Metal Connecting Rod Bearing Pair with Extra Oil Clearance

The MAHLE CB-745P-1 Connecting Rod Bearing Pair delivers proven tri-metal construction for demanding engine applications. Part of the trusted Clevite 77 P-Series lineup, these bearings feature professional-grade engineering designed for stock replacement and performance builds requiring additional oil clearance.

Tri-Metal Construction for Superior Performance:

• Hardened steel backing provides structural rigidity and excellent crush characteristics for secure retention
• Cast copper-lead intermediate layer delivers exceptional load capacity and fatigue resistance
• Electroplated babbitt overlay (lead-tin-copper) on running surface ensures superior conformability and embedability
• 0.001 inch extra oil clearance compared to standard P-Series bearings for high-performance applications

Technical Specifications:

• Housing Bore: 2.125 inches
• Oil Clearance Range: 0.001 to 0.004 inches
• Bearing Length: 0.842 inches
• Wall Thickness: 0.062 inches (maximum)
• High eccentricity design accommodates connecting rod bore distortion at high RPM
• High crush factor ensures proper seating and retention in the connecting rod

Ideal for engine rebuilds where increased durability is anticipated, including heavy-duty applications, motorsports, and street performance. The P-Series represents the most versatile replacement bearing suitable for most OE applications, offering an upgrade path from bi-metal bearings with increased load capacity. Sold as a pair (one connecting rod).
