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

The H-Series bearings are designed for engines that operate in the medium to high RPM range. They feature a hardened steel back, a thin overlay, and are made without flash plating for better seating, which is important for consistent performance.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

These H-Series bearings are best suited for engines that will be run in the medium to high RPM range or have crankshafts with oversize fillets. For a standard, lower-RPM rebuild, other bearing series might be more appropriate.

What does 'medium level of eccentricity' mean for these bearings?

Eccentricity refers to how perfectly round the bearing is. A medium level of eccentricity, along with high crush, helps these bearings conform to the crankshaft journal and maintain oil film pressure, especially under higher RPM conditions.

About this part

Product Details

These Clevite H-Series connecting rod bearings feature a hardened steel back with a thin overlay and are made without flash plating to help them seat properly. They are designed with a medium level of eccentricity and high crush, making them a solid choice for engines that operate in the medium to high RPM range. This set is suitable for a range of Chevrolet and Pontiac V6 engines from 1978 through 1984, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Caprice, and El Camino.

When you're working on an engine that sees consistent medium to high RPMs, or if your crankshaft has oversize fillets, the H-Series bearings offer a well-built option. The lack of flash plating is a practical detail that helps ensure a good, solid contact between the bearing and the crankshaft journal, which is crucial for proper oil film formation and bearing longevity.
