Since the development of the first precision insert-type bearing in 1929 by Clevite, Clevite engine bearings have set the pace for engineering quality. Clevite engine bearings are built above industry standards for strength and durability.

The majority of Clevite performance engine bearings utilize a superior TriMetal™ design first developed by Clevite 50 years ago and perfected over time. This design incorporates the strength of a copper-lead alloy layer on a precision steel back and finally, a precision electroplated white metal "babbitt" surface layer. TriMetal is an ideal design, producing a degree of conformability, embedability, slipperiness and fatigue resistance, not found in many original equipment and competitive bi-metal bearings.

All Clevite engine bearings (main bearings, rod bearings and cam bearings) manufactured are color coded for quick and positive identification of under sizes. The possibility of confusion or errors in installation is virtually eliminated by checking the color code on the side of each bearing. The exclusive Clevite TriArmor™ engine bearings feature the industry's only engine moly/graphite treatment. This sophisticated blend, in a low friction PTFE polymer base, offers extraordinary protection and lubricity. Enhanced wear characteristics increase bearing life in race engines and high performance street engines.

Now, high performance engine builders can enjoy the strength and durability of the legendary Clevite TriMetal™ bearing construction coupled with the latest in coating technology - right out of the box. It's no wonder that Clevite is used more often than any other bearings in cars worldwide and in most race cars. In addition, Clevite has been in most winning engines at Indianapolis and NASCAR. And that's why, year after year, quality engines everywhere turn on Clevite bearings.
