Key Features:
The Clevite H-Series Con Rod Bearings combine advanced materials and design to provide dependable performance and longevity in demanding applications. Key features include:
- Medium level of eccentricity for improved oil film stability and load distribution
- High crush design to ensure secure bearing seating and minimize movement
- Hardened steel backing for superior strength and resistance to deformation
- Thin overlay bearing surface for enhanced conformability and wear resistance
- Manufactured without flash plating to promote better seating and reduce installation issues
- Optimized for crankshafts with oversize fillets, common in performance builds
- Suitable for engines operating in medium to high RPM ranges
- Precision engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications
Construction & Design:
Clevite’s H-Series bearings feature a multi-layer construction designed for durability and performance. The hardened steel backing provides a rigid foundation that resists distortion under heavy loads, while the thin overlay surface offers excellent conformability to the crankshaft journal. This combination ensures a stable oil film and reduces the risk of metal-to-metal contact, which can lead to premature wear or failure.
The absence of flash plating enhances the bearing’s ability to seat properly during installation, reducing the chance of misalignment or uneven wear. This design consideration is especially important for engines with oversize fillets, where precise bearing fitment is critical to maintaining engine reliability.
Installation & Fitment:
The Clevite H-Series Con Rod Bearing Set is a direct fit replacement for a broad range of Chrysler V8 engines, including those found in Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks (model years 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 of bearing surfaces and journals, precise measurement of bearing clearances, and careful torqueing of connecting rod bolts. No special modifications are necessary when used within the specified engine applications.
