What is the advantage of bearings made without flash plating?

Bearings made without flash plating, like these Clevite H-Series, are designed to seat better. This means they make more consistent contact with the crankshaft, which is important for maintaining proper oil clearance and reducing wear.

When should I consider using H-Series bearings?

H-Series bearings are recommended when your engine runs in the medium to high RPM range and uses a crankshaft with oversize fillets. They are built to handle more demanding conditions than standard bearings.

What material is the back of the bearing made from?

The back of these Clevite H-Series bearings is made from hardened steel. This provides a strong and stable base for the bearing assembly.

About this part

Product Details

These Clevite H-Series connecting rod bearings feature a medium level of eccentricity and high crush, along with a hardened steel back and thin overlay. They are made without flash plating, which helps them seat better in the engine. These bearings are a solid option for Dodge and Cummins B Series 5.9L engines from 1989 through 2002, especially when you're running crankshafts with oversize fillets and the engine sees medium to high RPM ranges.

The H-Series design is well-suited for applications where the engine is pushed a bit harder. The hardened steel back provides a solid foundation, while the thin overlay and lack of flash plating ensure a more consistent contact surface against the crankshaft. This attention to detail helps maintain proper oil clearance and reduces wear, which is crucial for engine longevity, particularly in performance-oriented builds or heavy-duty use.
