What is the purpose of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. They allow the connecting rod to rotate smoothly around the crankshaft while maintaining a thin film of oil to prevent metal-on-metal contact and reduce wear.

What does the 'P' in the Clevite CB1952P(6) part number signify?

The 'P' in Clevite's part numbering typically indicates a performance bearing. These often feature slightly tighter clearances compared to standard bearings, which can help maintain better oil pressure and responsiveness, especially in rebuilt or modified engines.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This is a set of connecting rod bearings. Typically, a set includes all the bearings needed for the connecting rods on a specific engine, which is usually eight bearings for a V8 or four bearings for an inline-four or inline-six engine.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your Mercedes Benz OM352, OM352A, OM366, or OM366A/LA, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial. These Clevite bearings are designed to handle the loads and stresses within the engine, ensuring smooth operation and longevity for your rebuild.

Clevite has been a well-known name in engine bearings for a long time. This set is built to meet the demands of these specific Mercedes Benz diesel engines. They are made with materials chosen for durability and proper oil film retention, which is key to preventing wear on your crankshaft and connecting rods. The 'P' in the part number indicates they are a performance bearing, often meaning they have a slightly tighter clearance for improved oil pressure and responsiveness, which is common when rebuilding these engines.

When installing these bearings, make sure your crankshaft journals are clean and within factory specifications. It's also important to use the correct assembly lube to protect the bearing surface during initial startup. This set is a solid option for anyone looking to put their engine back together with reliable components.
