Product Description
Dial in correct oil clearance after a crank regrind with the MAHLE CB-1873AP-.50MM Connecting Rod Bearing Set for 2003–2018 Cummins 5.9L/6.7L (24-valve). This P-Series design uses a tri-metal upper shell for load capacity and a bi-metal aluminum lower for stable film strength and scuff resistance—ideal for street, tow, and work builds that need .50 mm undersize bearings.

FAQ
Is .50 mm undersize correct for my stock crank?
Only if the rod journals have been ground/honed .50 mm under. Otherwise select STD size.
How many do I need for a full engine?
These are sold per rod (one pair). Order six pairs for a 6-cylinder Cummins.
What’s the construction?
P-Series with a tri-metal upper shell for load capacity and a bi-metal aluminum lower for wear resistance.
Do these fit earlier (non-fractured-cap) rods?
No. They’re for 2003–2018 fractured-cap rods only.
