Inline Four now offers MAHLE-CLEVITE High Performance Bearings. These bearings are produced by MAHLE corporation and are nothing short of excellent, exactly what you would expect from the engineers at Mahle. These bearings were developed primarily for use in NASCAR type racing, due to the high-stress environment the engines are put through, which also make them a shoe-in for Honda's high revving B-series engines.
Unlike the older "Clevite 77" engine bearings that you may be familiar with, the Mahle-Clevite "H-Series" rod bearings are a "tri-metal" design. They have a medium level of eccentricity, high crush, hardened steel back and thin overlay. Mahle-Clevite H-series rod bearings also have enlarged chamfers for greater crankshaft fillet clearance and are made without flash plating for better seating.
Mahle-Clevite H-series connecting rod bearings are available for the following Honda engines in STD or .001 extra clearance. Mahle-Clevite H-series rod bearings with .001” extra clearance are available for standard size crankshaft journals and carry the suffix HX” (X = extra clearance).
Note:
Connecting Rod Bearings are sold as a single bearing.
Main Bearings are sold as a set of 10 bearings.
Thrust Washers are sold as a set of 2 washers.
