Clevite MS-2223P Engine Crankshaft Main Bearing Set

The Clevite MS-2223P is a high-performance engine crankshaft main bearing set engineered for demanding applications. This precision-manufactured bearing set utilizes Clevite's proven TriMetal construction to deliver superior strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity in competition and performance engines.

Key Features:

• TriMetal bearing construction for maximum strength and durability
• Optimized upper shell grooving design for improved oil film development
• High crush design for maximum bearing retention
• Reduced overlay thickness to prevent overlay fatigue
• Engineered bearing eccentricity for optimal contact patterns
• Precise manufacturing tolerances for consistent performance

Performance Engineering:

This main bearing set features Clevite's advanced grooving technology. The upper main shells incorporate a 180-degree groove that effectively supplies oil to connecting rod bearings while maximizing oil film thickness on loaded bearing surfaces. This design provides superior load-carrying capacity compared to fully-grooved bearings, resulting in improved bearing life and greater safety margins under high-stress conditions.

P-Series Design:

As part of Clevite's P-Series high-performance bearing line, this set features full grooving to maximize oil flow to rod bearings, making it ideal for applications requiring enhanced lubrication. The bearings incorporate high crush for maximum retention and reduced overlay thickness to resist fatigue cracking. P-Series main bearings are recommended when higher eccentricity is desired to narrow bearing contact patterns and provide increased oiling to rod bearings, particularly in applications experiencing rod bearing oil starvation.

Clevite main bearing sets are trusted by engine builders and professional racing teams for their consistent quality and reliable performance in high-RPM, high-load applications.
