What does '.020 undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are manufactured to be 0.020 inches smaller in diameter than standard size. They are intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.020 inches to correct wear.

What is the benefit of tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal bearings use three layers of different materials. This construction offers a good balance of load-carrying capacity and the ability to conform to the crankshaft surface, which helps maintain proper oil film thickness.

Are these bearings suitable for a performance engine build?

Yes, Clevite's tri-metal bearings are a popular choice for performance and heavy-duty applications due to their robust construction and ability to handle significant loads.

Product Details

These Clevite main bearings are .020 inches undersize, meaning they are designed to be used with crankshafts that have been machined down by that amount. This is a common practice when rebuilding an engine to bring worn crankshaft journals back into spec. Clevite uses a tri-metal material construction, which is a popular choice for performance and heavy-duty applications because it offers a good balance of strength and conformability. This means the bearings can handle significant loads while still adapting to the crankshaft surface for optimal oil film support.

When you're rebuilding an engine, getting the bearing clearances just right is critical for oil pressure and longevity. These bearings are well-built and designed to meet the demands of a freshly machined crankshaft. They are a solid option for anyone looking to put their engine back together with reliable components. Make sure you have the correct crankshaft journal measurements before ordering to ensure you get the right size bearing.
