Clevite CHEV V8 396 427 454 Eng 1965-93 Con Rod Bearing Set

These Clevite H-Series connecting rod bearings feature a medium level of eccentricity and high crush, along with a hardened steel back and a thin overlay. They are made without flash plating, which helps them seat better against the crankshaft. These bearings are a solid option for engines that run in the medium to high RPM range, especially when paired with a crankshaft that has oversize fillets. They fit a wide range of Chevrolet V8 engines from 1965 through 1993, including popular models like the C10 Pickup, C1500, and C20 Suburban.

The H-Series design is well-suited for performance applications where durability and consistent oil clearance are important. The hardened steel back provides a strong foundation, while the thin overlay offers a good bearing surface. By omitting the flash plating, Clevite ensures a more direct and secure fit, which is crucial for maintaining proper oil film thickness and preventing premature wear, particularly at higher engine speeds.
