FAQ
How many do I need for a full engine?
You need 8 pairs (one per rod) for a complete 6.7L Power Stroke V8.
What does the “HX” mean?
It indicates .001" extra oil clearance compared to the standard H-Series bearing. This is common for performance and heavy-duty use.
Is this an oversized bearing?
No—this is standard journal size with extra clearance via shell geometry, not an undersize/oversize for ground crankshafts.
Will these fit my 2011–2018 Super Duty?
Yes—these are listed for 2011–2018 F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 with the 6.7L Power Stroke.
