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 medium eccentricity and high crush for better seating and oil flow under these demanding conditions.

Why are these bearings made without flash plating?

The absence of flash plating on these bearings helps them seat more effectively against the crankshaft. This is particularly beneficial when working with crankshafts that have oversize fillets, ensuring a more reliable connection.

What vehicles commonly use this bearing set?

This set is designed for Ford 4 2.3L DOHC engines. It fits a range of vehicles including the Ford Ranger, Ford Fusion, Mazda B2300, and Mercury Mariner, among others.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your Ford, Mazda, or Mercury vehicle and pushing it beyond stock RPMs, consider this Clevite H-Series performance connecting rod bearing set. These bearings are specifically made for engines that operate in the medium to high RPM range, and they're designed to handle that extra stress.

The H-Series bearings feature a medium level of eccentricity, which helps with proper oil flow and seating. They also have high crush, meaning they fit snugly into the connecting rod for a solid connection. Clevite builds these with a hardened steel back for strength and a thin overlay, but they're made without flash plating. This lack of plating helps ensure the bearings seat correctly against the crankshaft, which is important for performance and longevity, especially when used with crankshafts that have oversize fillets.

This set is a good choice for many Ford 2.3L DOHC engines found in vehicles like the Ford Ranger, Mazda B2300, and Mercury Mariner. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
