CYL SLEEVE ASSEMBLY

Clevite engine bearings are renowned for their robust construction, meticulously engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications, thereby ensuring reliable performance across a broad spectrum of automotive applications. Their typical design incorporates a sophisticated tri-metal construction, beginning with a durable steel back, followed by an intermediate layer often composed of a cast-copper lead or aluminum alloy, and finished with a precision overlay of lead-tin-copper or a polymer. This advanced multi-layer architecture is critical for imparting exceptional fatigue resistance, superior wear resistance, and excellent conformability—all vital characteristics for enduring the intense operational stresses within an engine. Clevite offers various bearing series, such as the widely recognized Clevite 77 (P-Series) and the high-performance H-Series, each specifically calibrated to satisfy diverse engine requirements, ranging from standard daily drivers to demanding high-performance and competitive racing engines. These bearings are predominantly utilized as connecting rod and main bearings within internal combustion engines, forming the critical interface for rotating components.
