Clevite MS-1982P Main Bearing Set High Performance

The Clevite MS-1982P is a high-performance main bearing set designed for competition and racing engines. This bearing set features Clevite's advanced TriMetal construction, providing exceptional strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity for demanding applications.

Key Features:

• TriMetal bearing construction with optimized overlay thickness to prevent fatigue and hen tracking
• Engineered grooving design to maximize oil film thickness while maintaining proper connecting rod lubrication
• High crush design for maximum bearing retention in performance applications
• Upper main shells feature 180-degree grooving for optimal oil delivery to connecting rods
• Lower main shells are ungrooved to develop thicker oil film for improved bearing life
• Precision-engineered eccentricity for proper contact patterns and load distribution

Performance Benefits:

Clevite's research-driven bearing design focuses on creating the thickest possible oil film to separate the bearing from the shaft surface. The 180-degree upper groove configuration has been proven through extensive testing to provide the best overall performance, delivering adequate oil to connecting rod bearings while maintaining maximum oil film strength. This design reduces peak oil film pressure and minimizes parasitic horsepower loss compared to fully grooved designs.

Applications:

Ideal for high-performance street engines, drag racing, circle track, marine, and other competition applications where bearing reliability and durability are critical. Compatible with both steel and aluminum blocks when properly installed with correct clearances.

This main bearing set represents decades of Clevite engineering expertise in high-performance engine bearings, trusted by engine builders and racers worldwide.
