Product Details

When you're rebuilding the bottom end of your engine, especially for a performance build or one that sees a lot of action at higher RPMs, you need connecting rod bearings that can handle the stress. This set from Clevite, part number CB1453H, is designed for just that. You get a set of H-Series bearings, which are known for their medium eccentricity and high crush, along with a hardened steel back. They're made without flash plating, which helps them seat properly against the crankshaft.

These bearings are a solid choice for engines that will be pushed a bit harder, particularly those with crankshafts that have oversize fillets. The thin overlay on these bearings is built to handle the demands of medium to high RPM operation, giving you confidence when you're getting on the throttle. They fit a range of popular vehicles, including many Mazda, Ford, and Kia models from the late 80s through the early 2000s.
