Clevite CB-1869P-.50MM(8) High Performance Rod Bearing Set - 8

The Clevite CB-1869P-.50MM(8) is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set designed for demanding engine applications. This P-Series bearing set features .50mm undersize dimensions and includes 8 paired bearings (enough for an 8-cylinder engine). Each set consists of precision-engineered bearings that meet or exceed OEM standards for strength and durability while providing the enhanced performance characteristics needed for high-stress applications.

P-Series Performance Features:

• Maximum eccentricity design for optimal load distribution in high-RPM applications
• Hardened steel backing for superior strength and resistance to fretting
• High crush construction ensures maximum retention in the connecting rod bore
• Reduced overlay thickness prevents overlay fatigue and "hen tracking"
• Tri-Metal construction with lead-tin-copper overlay for excellent wear resistance
• Engineered to handle severe rod bore close-in at extremely high RPMs

Application Notes:

P-Series bearings are Clevite's original high-performance bearing line, specifically engineered for racing and high-performance engines. The increased eccentricity helps prevent bearing failure in extreme conditions where standard bearings show parting line to parting line shaft contact. These bearings excel in applications experiencing rod bearing oil starvation, indicated by bearing surface polishing, smearing, or discoloration. The .50mm undersize dimension accommodates reground crankshafts.

Important: Clevite rod bearings are sold as paired sets (two bearing halves for one connecting rod). This package includes 8 sets total, suitable for a complete V8 engine build. For 6-cylinder applications, order quantity 6; for 4-cylinder applications, order quantity 4.
