Designed to withstand medium to high RPM operation, these bearings offer enhanced durability and reliability for engines equipped with crankshafts featuring oversize fillets. Ideal for enthusiasts and professionals seeking dependable performance bearings, the Clevite H-Series delivers a balance of strength and precision for demanding driving conditions.

These bearings are crafted without flash plating to ensure superior seating and consistent performance. Whether you are rebuilding or upgrading your engine, the Clevite Con Rod Bearing Set provides the quality and fitment needed for optimal engine longevity and smooth operation.

Key Features:

Built to meet the rigorous demands of performance engines, the Clevite H-Series bearings incorporate advanced design elements that enhance durability and reliability.

• Medium level of eccentricity for improved oil film stability
• High crush design ensures secure bearing seating and reduces movement
• Hardened steel backing for increased strength and wear resistance
• Thin overlay material optimizes conformability and fatigue resistance
• Manufactured without flash plating to promote better seating and reduce installation issues
• Compatible with crankshafts featuring oversize fillets
• Engineered for medium to high RPM engine operation
• Precision manufacturing for consistent fit and performance

Construction & Design:

Clevite’s H-Series con rod bearings are constructed with a hardened steel backing that provides a robust foundation to withstand high loads and reduce deformation under stress. The thin overlay layer is carefully engineered to offer excellent conformability, allowing the bearing to adapt to minor imperfections in the crankshaft surface while maintaining fatigue resistance. This combination ensures long-lasting durability in demanding engine environments.

The bearings are produced without flash plating, a process that can sometimes interfere with proper seating. This design choice enhances the bearing’s ability to seat firmly against the crankshaft, reducing the risk of movement or misalignment during engine operation. The medium eccentricity profile balances oil clearance and load capacity, optimizing lubrication and wear characteristics for engines running at elevated RPMs.

Installation & Fitment:

The Clevite Con Rod Bearing Set is designed for direct fitment in a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles, including popular models such as the Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 (2003–2025), 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, including proper cleaning and inspection of the crankshaft journals. These bearings are intended for use with crankshafts that have oversize fillets, so ensure compatibility before installation. Professional installation is recommended to guarantee correct bearing clearance and optimal engine performance.
