What does '0.030 inch undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are manufactured to be 0.030 inches smaller in diameter than standard size. They are used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down (ground) by 0.030 inches to repair wear or imperfections.

Why is proper oil clearance important with connecting rod bearings?

Proper oil clearance ensures that a thin film of oil can properly lubricate the bearing surface and the crankshaft journal. This film prevents metal-to-metal contact, reducing friction and wear, and is essential for engine longevity.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is sold as a set, typically containing enough bearings for all connecting rods in an engine. Always check the product details to confirm the exact quantity included.

About this part

Product Details

This Clevite Connecting Rod Bearing Set is 0.030 inch undersize. When rebuilding an engine, especially if the crankshaft journals have been ground down to clean up minor imperfections or wear, using an undersize bearing is critical for proper oil clearance. These bearings are designed to meet the demands of performance and daily driving alike, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably.

Clevite has a long history of providing well-built engine components. This set is a solid option for engine rebuilds where precise tolerances are key. Using the correct undersize bearing ensures that the oil film between the bearing and the crankshaft is maintained at the manufacturer's specified clearance, which is vital for lubrication and preventing premature wear.
