What is the advantage of bearings made without flash plating?

Bearings made without flash plating, like these Clevite H-Series, allow for better seating against the crankshaft. This can lead to more consistent contact and improved oil film control.

When should I use Clevite H-Series bearings over other types?

Clevite H-Series bearings are recommended for engines that will operate in the medium to high RPM range and when using a crankshaft with oversize fillets. They offer a good balance of performance and durability for these applications.

Does this main bearing set include all the necessary components for installation?

This product is a main bearing set. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide or a service manual for a complete list of required components and procedures for your specific engine rebuild.

Product Details

These Clevite H-Series main bearings are built with a hardened steel back and a thin overlay, featuring a medium level of eccentricity and high crush. This design choice is important because it helps the bearings seat better, especially since they are made without flash plating. They are intended for use with crankshafts that have oversize fillets and in engines that are expected to run in the medium to high RPM range. This set is designed to fit a wide variety of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1960s and early 1970s, including popular models like the Ford Mustang, Ford Torino, and Mercury Cougar.

The H-Series bearings are a solid option when you're rebuilding a Ford 351 Cleveland 5.8L engine and anticipate pushing it beyond stock RPM levels. The combination of high crush and medium eccentricity helps ensure a stable oil film and reduces the risk of bearing spin under load. When installing these bearings, remember to check your crankshaft for the specified oversize fillets and ensure the engine's intended use aligns with their medium to high RPM capabilities.
