Superior Engine Bearings
These Clevite Tri-Metal 77 series engine bearings combine the strength of a copper-lead alloy layer with steel backing and an electroplated babbitt metal. The steel backing provides strength and durability; the babbitt overlay provides the critical surface characteristics of slipperiness and conformability. This ideal design has properties not even found in many original equipment bearings. Clevite offers main bearings, rod bearings, and cam bearings in this series.
H Series -
- Best to start with when unsure which bearing to choose
- Medium level of eccentricity and high crush
- Enlarged chamfers for greater crankshaft fillet clearance
- Made without flash plating for better seating
- Use with crankshafts that have oversized fillets
- Use with engines that run mid-high RPM range
- Contact patterns should ideally cover 2/3 to 3/4 of the bearing surface
P Series -
- Typically the greatest level of eccentricity
- Rods and mains have a high crush for maximum retention
- Most are fully grooved to maximize oil flow to rod bearings
- Reduced overlay thickness to prevent overlay fatigue
- Use where extremely high RPMs cause severe rod bore close-in
- Use where higher eccentricity is desired to narrow bearing contact patterns
V Series -
- This series essentially duplicates Clevite's former Vandervell parts
- Typically low to medium eccentricity
- Not available with oversized chamfers
- No flash plating on the steel back
- All Clevite main bearing sets use a single-piece thrust bearing
- Narrowed parts available to accommodate increased crankshaft fillet clearance
- Lead-indium overlay offers slightly better conformability M Series -
- These are special-purpose bearings having a nominal .005" thick Babbitt lining on a hardened steel back
- They are intended mainly for Blown Fuel engines where severe crankshaft deflections cause edge loading of the bearings
- Under these operating conditions bearing service, life will be very short
- Frequent inspection and replacement is recommended

Motor Vehicles
WARNING: Motor vehicles contain fuel, oils and fluids, battery posts, terminals and related accessories which contain lead and lead compounds and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. These chemicals are found in vehicles, vehicle parts and accessories, both new and as replacements. When being serviced, these vehicles generate used oil, waste fluids, grease, fumes and particulates, all known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm.
Tools:
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Electrical Cords
WARNING: The wires of these products contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
