Main Bearings

[87Gnastey]

What is the going rate for a set of Clevite 77 rod and main bearings?

Any problems with these?

no problems here they are what i always use

i get the p series
think they are like 32 bucks for main set and like 6 bucks a piece for the rods
thats what i paid last time from summit

Is the "P" series the performance series?

heres the info

H Series
Best to start with when unsure which bearing to choose
Medium level of eccentricity and high crush
Enlarged chamfers for greater crankshaft fillet clearance
Made without flash plating for better seating
Use with crankshafts that have oversized fillets
Use with engines that run mid-high RPM range
Contact patterns should ideally cover 2/3 to 3/4 of the bearing surface

P Series
Typically the greatest level of eccentricity
Rods and mains have high crush for maximum retention
Most are fully grooved to maximize oil flow to rod bearings
Reduced overlay thickness to prevent overlay fatigue
Use where extremely high RPMs cause severe rod bore close-in
Use where higher eccentricity is desired to narrow bearing contact patterns


V Series
This series essentially duplicates Clevite's former Vandervell parts
Typically low to medium eccentricity
Not available with oversized chamfers
No flash plating on the steel back
All main sets use a single-piece thrust bearing
Narrowed parts available to accommodate increased crankshaft fillet clearance
Lead-indium overlay offers slightly better conformability

Great info. Thanks.

If you are using a stock cast crank use the P series(passenger). I have found that the V and H series dont do well with the stock crank as have others. Hope this helps. Jeremy

I ditched the stock crank and rods and went with Eagle 4340 crank and rods. What will work well for these?
