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 construction that allows for better seating against the crankshaft, which is important for maintaining an oil film and ensuring durability under stress.

What does 'made without flash plating' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings do not have an extra layer of plating that can sometimes interfere with proper seating. Without flash plating, these bearings can seat more directly against the crankshaft, which is beneficial for oil flow and performance, especially with crankshafts that have oversize fillets.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings only. Installation hardware, such as new rod bolts, is typically sold separately and should be replaced according to the manufacturer's service manual recommendations.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of a Ford V8 engine, specifically those with 4.6L or 5.4L displacements from 1991 through 2016, these Clevite H-Series connecting rod bearings are a solid option. They are designed to handle engines that see medium to high RPM ranges, making them a popular choice for performance builds or heavy-duty applications where the engine will be pushed harder than stock.

These bearings feature a medium level of eccentricity and high crush, which helps them seat well against the connecting rod and crankshaft. They're constructed with a hardened steel back and a thin overlay, and importantly, they are made without flash plating. This lack of plating allows for better seating against the crankshaft, which is crucial for proper oil film formation and bearing longevity, especially when paired with crankshafts that have oversize fillets.

This set is designed to fit a wide range of Ford vehicles, including popular models like the F-150, Expedition, and Crown Victoria. When installing, always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for specific torque and clearance specifications to ensure optimal performance and durability.
