What is the main function of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod. Their primary job is to reduce friction and wear in this high-stress area, allowing the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while the connecting rod transfers power.

Why is proper bearing clearance important?

Correct bearing clearance is vital for allowing oil to flow properly. This oil film lubricates the surfaces, preventing metal-to-metal contact and dissipating heat, which is essential for engine longevity.

What does the 'P' in the part number CB1215P signify?

The 'P' in Clevite bearing part numbers typically indicates a standard size bearing. Always confirm with Clevite's official documentation if specific sizing is critical for your application.
