What is the main advantage of Clevite H-Series bearings?

Clevite H-Series bearings are designed for engines that operate in the medium to high RPM range. They feature a hardened steel back and thin overlay, and are made without flash plating to ensure better seating against the crankshaft.

When should I use H-Series bearings instead of standard bearings?

H-Series bearings are recommended when your engine's crankshaft has oversize fillets and the engine is expected to run at medium to high RPMs. Their construction is intended to handle the increased stress in these conditions.

Product Details

Clevite is a well-known name for engine bearings, and their H-Series performance bearings are built for demanding applications. If you're working on an engine that sees medium to high RPMs, especially one with a crankshaft that has oversize fillets, this set of connecting rod bearings is a solid option. They're designed to handle the extra stress that comes with higher engine speeds.

These bearings feature a medium level of eccentricity and high crush, which helps them seat properly in the connecting rod. They also have a hardened steel back for strength and a thin overlay. Importantly, they are made without flash plating. This detail is crucial because it allows for better seating against the crankshaft, ensuring a more reliable connection and improved oil flow in performance-oriented engines.

This set fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Cadillac DeVille, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and Buick Electra. Always check the full fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
