Clevite CB-1365H-10 H-Series Performance Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite CB-1365H-10 is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set engineered for demanding competition and high-RPM applications. Featuring Clevite's proven TriMetal construction, these H-Series bearings deliver the strength and durability needed for NASCAR-type racing and all forms of motorsports.

H-Series Performance Features:

• Medium eccentricity design optimized for medium to high RPM operation
• Hardened steel backing for maximum strength and resistance to fretting
• High crush design ensures superior bearing retention
• Thin overlay construction prevents overlay fatigue and "hen tracking"
• Enlarged chamfers provide greater crankshaft fillet clearance
• Non-flash plated for improved bearing seat contact
• Ideal contact pattern coverage (2/3 to 3/4 of bearing surface)

Application Notes:

H-Series bearings are the recommended starting point for most performance builds. Use these bearings with crankshafts that have oversize fillets and in engines operating in medium to high RPM ranges. They offer an excellent balance between the high eccentricity of P-Series bearings and lower eccentricity designs, making them versatile for various racing applications.

Construction and Materials:

These bearings meet or exceed OEM standards while incorporating race-proven enhancements. The hardened steel back provides structural integrity under extreme loads, while the carefully engineered overlay thickness resists fatigue during sustained high-RPM operation. The enlarged chamfers accommodate performance crankshafts with larger radius fillets without compromising bearing contact area.

Important Ordering Information:

Clevite rod bearings are sold as paired sets (two bearing halves for one connecting rod). For a complete engine rebuild, order one set per cylinder (e.g., quantity of 6 for a 6-cylinder engine, quantity of 8 for a V8).
