Clevite Coated H Series Connecting Rod BearingMAHLE Aftermarket’s Clevite brand Tuesday introduced three new coated bearing applications for high horsepower engines designed to add durability and less distortion at higher RPM levels.

Clevite says new stock options include a performance coated H-Series connecting rod bearing set for the GM 200-229 cid V6 (part #CB-1227HK). Previously available as a custom order, the new H-Series connecting rod bearing set features a fluoropolymer-based coating that adds protection in extreme hot and cold weather, reduces friction to fight dry starts, and ensures long-term durability with less wear for high load engines.

MAHLE says Clevite also now offers V-Series bearings for the Dodge Cummins 5.9-liter with a performance coating (part # CB-1413VK and MS-2328VK), for engines that push 2,500 horsepower. The new performance coated bearings reduce friction and drag for increased horsepower and resist breakdown under high-load conditions, the company says.

Finally, Clevite now offers a Teflon-based, performance-coated camshaft bearing set for the Generation V GM 6.2-liter V-8 small block (part #SH2231S) that may be used for high output boosted LT1 and LT4 engines that have increased valve spring pressures, the company says.
