What is the main purpose of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. Their main job is to reduce friction and wear by providing a smooth, low-friction surface for the rotating crankshaft journal, while also maintaining proper oil clearance.

Does this bearing set include everything needed for installation?

This set includes the connecting rod bearings themselves. You will need to ensure you have the correct torque wrench, assembly lube, and potentially new rod bolts or nuts, as these are not typically included with the bearings.

What does the 'VN' in the part number CB663VN10 signify?

The 'VN' designation typically refers to a specific material composition and design that Clevite uses for their bearings, aimed at providing durability and performance characteristics suitable for a range of engine applications.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Chevy V8, especially those popular 305, 350, or 400 small blocks from 1967 through 1998, a fresh set of connecting rod bearings is essential. This set from Clevite gives you the main components needed to properly seat your connecting rods onto the crankshaft. They are designed to handle the pressures and friction inherent in these engines, helping to ensure smooth operation and longevity.

Installing these bearings correctly, with the right torque specifications and clean surfaces, is key to their performance and the overall health of your engine.

This set is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet, GMC, and other GM platforms from the late 60s through the late 90s. Make sure to check the full fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific application.
