Clevite P-Series Main Bearings

Clevite P-Series main bearings are the oldest members of the Clevite 77 bearing family and are intended for high-revving engines. To compensate for the high-load factors and distortion in these engines, these bearings have higher eccentricity and a high crush factor. P-Series bearings are constructed of tri-metal cast copper lead. They have a steel back for support, a cast copper lead lining to withstand the loads of engine operation, and an electroplated babbit overlay on the running surface to provide searing surface qualities. In addition, the oil grooves on most applications extend all the way around both halves for better oiling. Clevite P-Series main bearings are an ideal design, producing a degree of conformability, embedability, slipperiness, and fatigue resistance, not found in original equipment and competitive bimetal bearings.

Kanter Rod Bearings

Kanter rod bearings are precision-made for classic cars to support the crankshaft, reduce friction between the rod and crank, and allow the piston's linear motion to become the crankshaft's rotation. These components are crucial for converting piston movement into crankshaft rotation, fitting into the connecting rod's "big end" with a cap, and relying on engine oil for a protective film. Kanter rod bearings come as two semi-circular halves (shells) that fit into the connecting rod and its cap. They are available in standard sizes, as well as undersizes to match worn crankshaft journals, ensuring smooth rotation and proper lubrication for vintage engines.
