Overview:

The Clevite TriMetal Con Rod Bearing Set is engineered for durability and reliability in demanding engine rebuilds. Designed to handle heavy-duty applications, motorsports, and street performance, these bearings provide a robust upgrade over standard BiMetal bearings. Their versatile design makes them suitable for most original equipment (OE) applications across a wide range of Dodge, Jeep, and Mitsubishi vehicles from 1997 to 2011.

Whether you are rebuilding a daily driver or a high-performance engine, these bearings deliver enhanced load capacity and long-lasting protection, ensuring your engine’s rotating assembly operates smoothly under increased stress.

Key Features:

Built to meet the rigorous demands of performance and heavy-duty use, the Clevite TriMetal Con Rod Bearings offer the following key benefits:

• TriMetal construction for superior load capacity and wear resistance
• Ideal upgrade from BiMetal bearings for enhanced durability
• Precision manufacturing ensures tight tolerances and reliable fit
• Compatible with most OE engine configurations for easy replacement
• Designed to withstand high RPM and elevated operating temperatures
• Excellent conformability to crankshaft journals for optimal oil film retention
• Corrosion-resistant overlay for extended service life
• Suitable for heavy-duty, motorsports, and street performance applications

Construction & Design:

The TriMetal design of these connecting rod bearings incorporates a layered metal construction that combines strength, flexibility, and wear resistance. The base layer provides structural support, while the intermediate layer enhances fatigue resistance. The top overlay is engineered to conform to the crankshaft surface, promoting excellent oil retention and minimizing metal-to-metal contact. This advanced metallurgy ensures the bearings can handle increased loads and stresses typical of performance and heavy-duty engines.

Clevite’s precision manufacturing processes guarantee consistent thickness and surface finish, critical for maintaining proper bearing clearance and preventing premature engine wear.
