What is the benefit of extra oil clearance in main bearings?

Extra oil clearance allows for a greater volume of oil to flow between the bearing and the crankshaft journal. This improved lubrication is especially beneficial in high-performance engines or when dealing with slightly worn crankshafts, helping to reduce friction and heat.

What material are these Clevite main bearings made from?

These bearings feature a steel-backed construction for solid support and are finished with a specific overlay material designed for engine bearing applications.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While these bearings offer extra oil clearance which is often beneficial for performance builds or engines with some wear, they can also be used in a stock rebuild if the crankshaft journals are within specification for this type of bearing. Always consult your engine's service manual for specific recommendations.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your GM Gen V 6.2L LT1 engine, especially for a performance application or if you're dealing with a worn crankshaft, a main bearing set with extra oil clearance can make a big difference. This set from Clevite is designed to provide that additional space for oil to flow, which is crucial for keeping those main bearings properly lubricated under stress.

These bearings are well-built with a specific overlay material and a steel-backed construction, giving them the strength needed for demanding engine builds. The extra oil clearance they offer helps ensure that even if your oil pressure fluctuates slightly or your engine is working hard, the crankshaft journals will still get the lubrication they need to prevent premature wear. This is particularly useful when you're not using a brand new crankshaft or when you're aiming for a more robust lubrication system.

This set fits a range of popular GM vehicles from the mid-2010s, including models like the Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500. When installing, always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for the correct torque specifications and procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your engine rebuild.
