Product Description
Dial in precise oil clearance and durability on your Duramax build with the MAHLE CB-1805HK-.25MM H-Series rod bearing. This .25 mm undersize shell (≈.010") is engineered for reground journals and high-load use across LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, and LML platforms—featuring a hardened steel back, TM-77 tri-metal overlay, medium eccentricity, high crush, and enlarged chamfers for crank fillet clearance.

FAQ
Does this fit all 2001–2016 Duramax engines?
Yes—LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, and LML when a .25 mm undersize H-Series shell is required.
How many do I need?
Eight shells are required to service all V8 connecting rods (sold individually unless noted).
Why choose H-Series vs. P-Series?
H-Series emphasizes high-load performance with a hardened steel back, thin overlay, high crush, and enlarged chamfers. P-Series is tuned for OE-style durability.
