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

The H-Series bearings are built for performance applications, featuring medium eccentricity and high crush for better seating. They are also made without flash plating, which helps ensure a solid connection with the crankshaft, especially when dealing with oversize fillets.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While these bearings are designed for medium to high RPM ranges and can be used in performance builds, they are also a well-built option for stock rebuilds where the engine might see occasional harder use. Always ensure they meet your specific engine's clearance requirements.

What does 'medium eccentricity' and 'high crush' mean for these bearings?

Medium eccentricity means the bearing isn't perfectly centered, which can help with oil flow and load distribution. High crush refers to the amount the bearing shell protrudes beyond the parting line, ensuring it's firmly seated in the connecting rod housing.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding a Ford V8 engine from the early 60s through the mid-90s, like those found in a classic Bronco, F-150, or Econoline van, these Clevite H-Series connecting rod bearings are a solid choice. They are designed to handle engines that see medium to high RPM ranges, making them suitable for performance builds or restorations where the engine will be pushed a bit harder than stock.

What sets these H-Series bearings apart is their construction. They have a medium level of eccentricity and high crush, which helps them seat well against the connecting rod and crankshaft. Clevite also makes them without flash plating, which further aids in achieving a good, solid contact. The hardened steel back and thin overlay provide durability, while the lack of flash plating ensures better seating, especially important when working with crankshafts that have oversize fillets.

These bearings are a popular option for many Ford passenger and truck applications from 1962 to 1994, covering engines like the 221, 255, 260, 289, and 302 V8s. When installing, always refer to your engine's specific service manual for proper torque and clearance specifications to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
