Clevite CB-1619P High Performance P-Series Connecting Rod Bearing Set

The Clevite CB-1619P is a high-performance P-Series connecting rod bearing set engineered to exceed OEM standards for strength and durability in demanding engine applications. These precision bearings feature TriMetal construction with superior materials that protect vital engine components from the harmful effects of friction and wear.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design for severe high-RPM applications where rod bore close-in occurs
• Hardened steel backing for added strength and superior fretting resistance
• High crush design ensures maximum bearing retention in the connecting rod
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and "hen tracking"
• Optimized for engines experiencing extreme RPM conditions and heavy loads
• Compatible with aluminum connecting rods (verify dowel hole requirements for your application)

When to Use P-Series Bearings:

P-Series rod bearings are specifically designed for high-performance and racing engines where extremely high RPMs cause severe rod bore distortion, typically indicated by nearly full parting line to parting line shaft contact. The greater eccentricity of P-Series bearings addresses these demanding conditions better than standard performance bearings.

Quality Construction:

Clevite's legendary TriMetal bearing construction combines a hardened steel back, a performance-engineered lining material, and a wear-resistant overlay. This three-layer design provides the perfect balance of strength, conformability, and durability for high-performance applications.

Important Ordering Information:

This bearing set includes two bearing halves for ONE connecting rod. For a complete engine rebuild, order the quantity matching your cylinder count (example: order quantity 6 for a 6-cylinder engine, quantity 8 for a V8, etc.).
