COMPETITION ROD BEARINGS

The Competition Rod Bearings category offers high-quality bearings specifically designed for use in various types of competition engines, making them ideal for performance-driven applications. Developed primarily for NASCAR racing, the H and HX Clevite bearings in this category provide exceptional performance and reliability.

The H series bearings feature a medium level of eccentricity, high crush, and hardened steel back with a thin overlay. They are designed with enlarged chamfers for increased crankshaft fillet clearance and are made without flash plating for improved seating. On the other hand, the HX series bearings offer an additional .001" clearance for optimal performance.

One of the key advantages of coated bearings is their ability to protect against damage during cold starts and situations where oil starvation may occur. The specially designed coating acts as a barrier between the bearing surface and the crank journal, resulting in reduced friction, longer bearing and crank journal life, and improved overall engine durability. With added ingredients like molybdenum, the coating retains oil effectively, providing enhanced lubrication.

These high-performance bearings are not only suitable for race engines but are also suitable for street and daily-use vehicles, offering increased durability and reliability. Some of the popular products in this category include MAHLE CB-1413H Engine Connecting Rod Bearing-H-Series in various sizes for 5.9L Cummins 12V/24V engines.

In summary, the Competition Rod Bearings category provides top-of-the-line bearings that deliver superior performance, durability, and protection for competition engines, making them a preferred choice for racing enthusiasts and high-performance engine builders.
