Key Features

Built with advanced materials and precision engineering, the Clevite H-Series bearings offer several key benefits:

• Medium level of eccentricity for balanced performance and durability
• High crush design to ensure excellent bearing seating and reduce movement
• Hardened steel backing for enhanced strength and resistance to deformation
• Thin overlay surface to provide superior wear resistance and conformability
• Manufactured without flash plating to improve bearing seating and reduce installation issues
• Optimized for crankshafts with oversize fillets commonly found in diesel engines
• Engineered for medium to high RPM applications, supporting performance driving conditions
• Precision manufacturing ensures consistent quality and fitment

Construction & Design

The Clevite H-Series bearings feature a multi-layer design that combines a hardened steel back with a thin overlay bearing surface. This construction provides a robust foundation that resists deformation under heavy loads while maintaining a smooth, wear-resistant surface for the crankshaft journals. The high crush specification enhances the bearing’s ability to seat firmly within the connecting rod, minimizing the risk of movement or misalignment during engine operation.

By eliminating flash plating, Clevite ensures a cleaner bearing surface that promotes better seating and reduces the potential for installation-related issues. This attention to detail in the manufacturing process results in a bearing set that is both durable and reliable, capable of withstanding the rigors of diesel engine performance.

Installation & Fitment

This bearing set is designed for direct fitment in Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with 5.9L and 6.7L diesel engines produced between 2003 and 2013. Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures, and the bearings are compatible with crankshafts featuring oversize fillets. No special modifications are necessary, making these bearings an excellent choice for both professional engine builders and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

Proper installation torque and clearances should be observed to ensure optimal bearing performance and engine longevity.
