Clevite High Performance Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite High Performance Rod Bearing Set is an engine connecting rod bearing set. It is built for street performance, towing, and racing engines that see higher loads, higher RPM, and more demanding operating conditions than stock rebuilds. Clevite is a well-known engine bearing brand from Mahle, and the line is widely used by engine builders and rebuilders.

Key Features:

• Tri-metal construction: A steel backing, a copper-lead intermediate layer, and an overlay of babbitt-type material give the bearing strength and fatigue resistance under heavy load.
• Precision machining: Tight tolerances and consistent wall thickness support proper oil clearance and even load distribution across the bearing surface.
• Embedability and conformability: The bearing surface absorbs small particles and adapts to minor surface imperfections. This helps protect the crankshaft journals.
• Durability: The design is meant for high-output applications where stock-type bearings can wear out too soon.
• Multiple options: The line covers a range of engine applications and bearing sizes, including standard and undersize options.

Clevite rod bearings are a dependable choice for engine rebuilds, performance upgrades, and race builds. Proper crankshaft journal measurement, oil clearance checks, and a clean assembly are recommended to get the best results from any bearing set.
