What is the main advantage of Clevite H-Series bearings?

Clevite H-Series bearings are designed for engines that operate in the medium to high RPM range. They feature a medium eccentricity and high crush for better seating, and are made without flash plating to ensure a more direct contact with the crankshaft.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This listing is for the connecting rod bearing set only. Installation hardware, such as bolts or nuts, is typically sold separately. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of required components.

What is the significance of 'medium eccentricity' and 'high crush'?

Medium eccentricity helps with oil flow and distribution to the bearing surface. High crush means the bearing has a built-in interference fit when installed, which helps it stay securely in place under demanding conditions.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Chevy V8, especially one that sees a lot of action in the medium to high RPM range, a solid set of connecting rod bearings is crucial. These Clevite H-Series bearings are built for that kind of work, offering a well-built solution for engines like the 396, 427, and 454 from 1965 through 1993.

What sets these apart is their construction: they feature a medium level of eccentricity, which helps with oil distribution, and high crush, meaning they're designed to seat firmly in the connecting rod. They also have a hardened steel back and a thin overlay, but importantly, they are made without flash plating. This lack of plating helps them seat better against the crankshaft, which is key for proper function, especially when you're dealing with crankshafts that have oversize fillets. These are a popular choice for performance builds where the engine will be pushed.

This set fits a wide range of Chevy V8 applications, including popular models like the Chevelle, Camaro, Corvette, and various C/K series trucks and SUVs from the mid-60s through the early 90s. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
