The Clevite H-Series main bearing set is built for Chevrolet small block V8 engines. Clevite H-Series performance bearings use a medium level of eccentricity, high crush, a hardened steel back and a thin overlay, and are made without flash plating for better seating. They are intended for crankshafts with oversize fillets and for engines that run in the medium to high RPM range. This HX version adds extra oil clearance over the standard H bearing. It is sold as a main bearing set (kit).
