Overview:

The Clevite Con Rod Bearing Set is engineered to deliver reliable performance and durability for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles. Designed specifically for engines operating in medium to high RPM ranges, these bearings provide enhanced protection and longevity under demanding conditions. Whether you are rebuilding an engine or upgrading for improved reliability, this bearing set offers a trusted solution for performance enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike.

Featuring a medium level of eccentricity and high crush, these bearings ensure a precise fit and optimal oil retention, which helps maintain proper lubrication and reduce wear. The hardened steel backing combined with a thin overlay enhances strength and resistance to fatigue, making them ideal for engines with oversize crankshaft fillets.

Key Features:

These Clevite H-Series con rod bearings incorporate advanced design elements to support engine performance and durability:

• Medium eccentricity for balanced oil clearance and bearing load
• High crush design ensures superior seating and reduces bearing movement
• Hardened steel backing provides enhanced strength and resistance to fatigue
• Thin overlay surface improves wear resistance and durability
• Manufactured without flash plating to promote better bearing seating
• Optimized for crankshafts with oversize fillets
• Engineered for medium to high RPM applications
• Compatible with a broad range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram engines

Construction & Design:

Clevite’s H-Series bearings are constructed with a hardened steel back that offers exceptional structural integrity and fatigue resistance, critical for high-stress engine environments. The thin overlay surface is precision-engineered to provide a smooth, wear-resistant interface between the bearing and crankshaft, reducing friction and extending component life.

Unlike conventional bearings that use flash plating, these bearings are manufactured without it to ensure a more secure and stable fit within the connecting rod. This design choice enhances bearing retention and reduces the risk of movement or misalignment during engine operation.

Installation & Fitment:

The Clevite Con Rod Bearing Set is designed for direct fitment on a variety of popular vehicles, including Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models from 2003 to 2025, Dodge Viper (2003–2009), Dodge Durango (2004–2025), Chrysler 300 (2005–2025), Dodge Magnum (2005–2008), Jeep Grand Cherokee (2005–2025), Dodge Charger (2006–2025), Jeep Commander (2007–2025), and Dodge Challenger (2008–2012).

Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures. Bearings should be installed with proper lubrication and torque specifications followed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines. These bearings are ideal for engines with oversize crankshaft fillets and do not require modifications for fitment.
