FAQ
What engine does the Clevite CB1665HXND fit?
It is listed for small block Chevy engines.
What do the X, N and D features mean?
The X marks the extra oil clearance version of the H-Series bearing. Narrowed means reduced width to increase fillet clearance on the crankshaft, and doweled means the bearing has a dowel pin hole for positive location. The exact clearance amount is not listed for this part number.
Is this sold as a set?
No, it is sold individually (each). A V8 uses eight connecting rod bearings, so order eight for a complete engine.
What does H-Series mean?
H-Series is Clevite's performance bearing line. It uses a harder, higher-crush tri-metal construction designed for medium-to-high RPM use and crankshafts with oversize fillets.
