INDUSTRIAL INJECTION PDM-CB-1805HXC GM HX SERIES ROD BEARING SET FOR 01-16 DURAMAX

2001-2016 Duramax Hx Series Rod Bearings (Std +.001) Coated  Set. These H and HX Clevite bearings were developed primarily for use in NASCAR type racing but are suitable for all types of competition engines.

H series bearings have a medium level of eccentricity, high crush and rod bearings have a hardened steel back and thin overlay. These bearings also have enlarged chamfers for greater crankshaft fillet clearance and are made without flash plating for better seating.

The HX series bearings have and .001 extra clearance. The biggest benefit of coated bearings is preventing damage during cold starts and events where oil starvation is evident.

Starting your car is almost the worst thing you can do as the oil has had time to drain out of the engine back into the pan. The oil is cold and thicker and takes time to get circulated throughout the engine, including to the crank bearings.

The added dry film lubricant coating acts as a barrier between the bearing surface and the crank journal. Other benefits are less friction and longer bearing and crank journal life.

The special coating also has moly and other ingredients that retain oil rather than repel it. This coating process was developed for and is used in race engines, and applied to street and daily-use cars to help yield more durable engines.

Sold as a complete set

The INDUSTRIAL INJECTION PDM-CB-1805HXC GM HX SERIES ROD BEARING SET is engineered for performance and reliability, making it an essential upgrade for 2001-2016 Duramax engines. Designed specifically for the HX series and made for both professional racing and high-performance applications, this rod bearing set combines cutting-edge technology with proven materials to deliver unparalleled results.

Featuring Clevite H and HX series bearings, this set employs a medium level of eccentricity and high crush for optimal fit and function. Each bearing is crafted with a hardened steel back and a thin overlay, ensuring maximum strength and durability. The enlarged chamfers provide increased crankshaft fillet clearance, while the absence of flash plating enhances seating and reduces the risk of wear.

The HX series bearings come with an additional .001 clearance, ensuring efficient oil flow even under extreme conditions. The innovative coated design plays a crucial role in protecting the bearings during cold starts and moments of oil starvation—common challenges that can lead to premature engine wear. When starting your vehicle, the oil may have already drained back into the pan, leading to a thicker, colder substance that takes time to circulate. The dry film lubricant coating acts as a protective barrier, significantly reducing friction and extending the lifespan of both the bearings and crank journals.

With added components like moly that retain oil, this coating keeps your engine running smoothly, even in daily-use scenarios. The INDUSTRIAL INJECTION PDM-CB-1805HXC GM HX SERIES ROD BEARING SET is sold as a complete set, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to enhance their engine’s performance while ensuring its longevity and reliability on and off the track.
