What makes the TriMetal design different from standard bi-metal bearings?

The TriMetal design offers a higher load capacity compared to traditional bi-metal bearings. This means they can better withstand the increased stress and pressure found in demanding engine applications.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

Yes, the P-Series is considered a versatile replacement bearing suitable for most OE applications. Their improved load capacity also makes them a good upgrade even if you're not building a high-performance engine.

What is the typical application for these bearings?

These bearings are ideal for engine rebuilds where more demanding use is anticipated. This includes heavy-duty applications, motorsports, or street performance builds where standard bearings might not hold up as well.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding a V8 engine for a Cadillac or Oldsmobile from the late 60s through the mid-80s, and you anticipate more than just daily driving, like heavy-duty work, racing, or performance street use, then these Clevite P-Series connecting rod bearings are a solid choice. They are designed to handle increased loads compared to standard bi-metal bearings, making them a versatile option for many OE applications.

These bearings feature Clevite's TriMetal design, which offers improved load capacity and durability. This construction is well-suited for engines that will be pushed harder than stock, providing a reliable foundation for your rebuilt engine. They fit a wide range of Cadillac models like the Calais, DeVille, and Eldorado, as well as Oldsmobile vehicles such as the 442 and Delta 88, covering a broad spectrum of V8 applications from 1968 to 1984.
