Clevite Det. Diesel 149 Series Con Rod Bearing Set

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of a diesel engine, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial for long-term reliability. This Clevite 149 Series set is built to handle the demands of diesel power. These bearings are designed to provide a solid foundation for your engine's rotating assembly, ensuring proper oil clearance and smooth operation.

Clevite has a long history in engine components, and this bearing set reflects that experience. They're made with a multi-layer material structure that helps manage heat and reduce friction, which is especially important in high-compression diesel applications. The 'P' in the part number indicates a performance-oriented design, often featuring tighter tolerances or improved materials for enhanced durability under load. When installing, always ensure the crankshaft journals are clean and within specification, and use the correct assembly lube to protect the new bearing surfaces during initial startup.
