COMPETITION ROD BEARINGS

The competition rod bearings category features high-quality H and HX Clevite bearings designed for use in NASCAR type racing and other competitive engines. These bearings offer a medium level of eccentricity, high crush, and a hardened steel back with a thin overlay. They also have enlarged chamfers for greater crankshaft fillet clearance and are made without flash plating for improved seating.

One of the key advantages of coated bearings is their ability to prevent damage during cold starts and situations where oil starvation may occur. The dry film lubricant coating serves as a barrier between the bearing surface and the crank journal, reducing friction and extending the lifespan of both the bearing and crank journal. Additionally, the special coating includes moly and other components that help retain oil rather than repel it.

Originally developed for race engines, this coating process has been successfully applied to street and daily-use vehicles to enhance engine durability. Some of the products in this category include the MAHLE CB-1873H Engine Connecting Rod Bearing-H-Series for 2003-2018 Cummins 5.9L/6.7L 24V engines, as well as undersize and extra clearance options for specific models.

Whether you are a professional racer or a performance enthusiast looking to improve your engine's reliability and longevity, the competition rod bearings in this category are a top choice for high-performance applications.
