What is tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal construction refers to a bearing made with three distinct layers of material. This design offers a balance of strength, wear resistance, and heat dissipation, making it suitable for high-performance engine applications.

Do these bearings come with a specific size or clearance?

This set is a standard size bearing. For specific clearance measurements and installation instructions, always refer to the manufacturer's technical documentation or a qualified mechanic.

What is the main benefit of using Clevite bearings?

Product Details

These Clevite connecting rod bearings are built with a tri-metal construction, meaning they have three distinct layers of material to handle the high pressures and friction found in performance V8 engines. This design helps ensure they can withstand the rigors of demanding builds, offering a solid option for anyone rebuilding or working on the bottom end of their AMC or Jeep V8, specifically the 390 and 401 cubic inch engines from 1968 through 1978.

The tri-metal layers work together to provide excellent load-carrying capacity and wear resistance. The inner layer offers a strong foundation, the middle layer provides the bearing surface that contacts the crankshaft, and the outer layer helps dissipate heat and reduce friction. This well-built construction is key to maintaining proper oil clearance and ensuring the longevity of your engine's rotating assembly. They fit a range of vehicles, including models like the American Motors Javelin, Jeep Cherokee, and Jeep Wagoneer from the specified years.
