COMPETITION ROD BEARINGS

Competition Rod Bearings are a crucial component in high-performance engines, especially in racing and competition settings. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, these H and HX Clevite bearings are ideal for use in NASCAR and other types of racing.

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

One key advantage of these bearings is their special coating, which helps prevent damage during cold starts and instances of oil starvation. The coating acts as a barrier between the bearing surface and crank journal, reducing friction and extending the life of both components. With ingredients like molybdenum, the coating retains oil rather than repelling it, ensuring proper lubrication in all conditions.

These competition rod bearings are not only used in race engines but can also be applied to street and daily-use vehicles to enhance engine durability. Some of the popular products in this category include the MAHLE CB-1413H Engine Connecting Rod Bearings in various sizes for 5.9L Cummins engines.

If you are looking to upgrade your engine’s performance and reliability in competitive environments, Competition Rod Bearings are an essential component to consider. Trust in the quality and durability of H and HX Clevite bearings to take your engine to the next level.
