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 and a thin overlay, and are made without flash plating for better seating against the crankshaft.

When should I consider using H-Series bearings over other types?

These bearings are recommended when your engine is built for medium to high RPM use and your crankshaft has oversize fillets. The specific design helps manage the demands of higher engine speeds.

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

Eccentricity refers to how the bearing's shape deviates slightly from a perfect circle. A medium level of eccentricity helps to manage oil flow and film thickness, which is important for lubrication at various engine speeds and loads.

About this part

Product Details

These Clevite H-Series connecting rod bearings feature a hardened steel back with a thin overlay, and they are made without flash plating to help them seat better. They have a medium level of eccentricity and high crush, which are important design choices for how they perform in the engine. If your engine is built for medium to high RPM ranges and uses a crankshaft with oversize fillets, these bearings are a solid option.

The H-Series bearings are well-suited for performance applications where the engine sees consistent use at higher RPMs. The hardened steel back provides a strong foundation, while the thin overlay helps manage friction. By omitting the flash plating, Clevite ensures a more direct and secure fit against the crankshaft, which is crucial for oil film control and bearing longevity in demanding conditions.
