COMPETITION ROD BEARINGS

The Competition Rod Bearings category offers high-quality H and HX Clevite bearings designed for NASCAR type racing and other competitive engine applications. These bearings feature a medium level of eccentricity, high crush, a hardened steel back, and thin overlay for optimal performance. Additionally, the bearings have enlarged chamfers to provide greater crankshaft fillet clearance and are manufactured without flash plating for improved seating.

The HX series bearings in this category offer an additional .001" clearance for enhanced functionality. The key advantage of coated bearings is their ability to prevent damage during cold starts and instances of oil starvation. The dry film lubricant coating acts as a protective barrier between the bearing surface and crank journal, reducing friction and extending the lifespan of both components.

Developed for race engines, the coating process used in these bearings has been adapted for street and daily-use vehicles to increase engine durability. Some of the products available in this category include the MAHLE CB-1413H Engine Connecting Rod Bearing in standard size and undersize options, as well as the MAHLE CB-1413HX H-Series Rod Bearing with .001" extra oil clearance.

For competition engines that require reliability and performance, the Competition Rod Bearings category offers top-notch products to meet the demanding needs of racers and enthusiasts alike.
