Construction & Design

Clevite main bearings are constructed using premium-grade materials selected for their strength and durability under extreme operating conditions. The bearing shells feature a multi-layer design that combines a strong steel backing with a soft, conformable overlay to protect the crankshaft journals from wear and damage. This layered construction also helps absorb minor misalignments and contaminants, reducing the risk of premature failure.

The bearing surfaces are precision-machined and polished to exacting standards, ensuring a smooth interface with the crankshaft and optimal oil clearance. This careful engineering supports efficient lubrication and heat dissipation, critical factors in maintaining engine health and performance over time.
