FAQ
How many do I need for a full engine?Each “pair” services one connecting rod. Order six (6) pairs for a complete 6-cylinder Cummins engine.
What’s the difference between H and HX?HX provides roughly .001" extra oil clearance for high RPM/heat builds; H is standard clearance.
Will these fit 2003+ fracture-split rods?No. These are for 1989–2002 engines with non-fractured machined-cap rods.
Are these coated?Yes — PDM-CB-1413HC are coated H-Series bearings for added scuff resistance.
