Clevite Chevrolet V8 348-366-396-402-409-427-454-496 1958-03 Con Rod Bearing Set

This Clevite connecting rod bearing set is built with a 0.020 inch undersize, making it a solid option when you're rebuilding an engine with a crankshaft that's been previously ground down. These bearings are designed for a range of Chevrolet V8 engines, including popular displacements like the 348, 396, 427, and 454 cubic inch big blocks, as well as the 350 and 305 small blocks. They are a direct fit for many Chevrolet vehicles from the late 1950s through the early 2000s, covering everything from classic Bel Airs and C10 pickups to later models like the Avalanche 2500 and C3500 trucks.

Clevite is known for making well-built engine components, and this bearing set is no exception. The material composition is chosen to handle the pressures and temperatures found in V8 engines, helping to ensure proper lubrication and reduce friction between the connecting rod and crankshaft. Installing these bearings is a key step in any engine rebuild or repair where the crankshaft journals have been machined undersize, providing a fresh surface for the new bearings to seat against and operate smoothly.
