What is the advantage of bearings made without flash plating?

Bearings made without flash plating are designed to seat better against the crankshaft. This improved contact helps ensure proper oil clearance and heat transfer, which is crucial for engine longevity, especially in performance applications.

When should I consider using H-Series bearings?

H-Series bearings are recommended for engines that operate in the medium to high RPM range. They are also a good choice if your crankshaft has oversize fillets, as these bearings are designed to accommodate that.

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

Eccentricity refers to how the bearing's inner diameter is offset from its outer diameter. A medium level of eccentricity in these bearings helps them manage the dynamic loads and stresses encountered during medium to high RPM operation, contributing to their performance suitability.

About this part

Product Details

These Clevite H-Series connecting rod bearings feature a hardened steel back and a thin overlay, built without flash plating to help them seat properly. This design choice is important because it helps ensure a good connection with the crankshaft, especially in engines that see a lot of action. They are made with a medium level of eccentricity, which is a design feature that helps them handle the stresses of medium to high RPM operation.

If you're rebuilding an engine that you plan to run hard, or if your crankshaft has oversize fillets, these bearings are a solid option. The H-Series is known for its ability to handle the demands of performance applications where the engine is frequently operating at higher revolutions per minute. They are well-built to handle the increased loads and heat generated in these conditions.
