Clevite Chevrolet V8 348-366-396-402-409-427-454-502 1958-2000 Con Rod Bearing Set

Clevite is well-known for making solid engine components, and these connecting rod bearings are a prime example. They are designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet V8 engines, from the 348ci all the way up to the big-block 502ci, covering models from 1958 through 2000. If you're rebuilding or refreshing the bottom end of a classic Bowtie V8, like a Bel Air, C10 Pickup, or even a C3500, these bearings are built to handle the job.

These bearings feature a multi-layer lining that helps manage oil flow and reduce friction, which is crucial for keeping your connecting rods and crankshaft happy. The 'V' in the part number indicates a specific design for these larger displacement V8s, ensuring a proper fit and function. They are made with a durable material that's meant to last, providing consistent performance for your engine's rotating assembly.

When you're putting an engine back together, getting the bearing clearance just right is key. These Clevite bearings are designed to meet the original equipment specifications, making installation straightforward for a mechanic or a dedicated DIYer. Just be sure to check your specific engine's service manual for the correct oil clearance measurements during assembly.
