Clevite

Building an engine, or does yours need new bearings? Clevite makes engine bearings for everything from everyday engines to engines built for high revs and big power. Here you’ll find rod bearings, main bearings, cam bearings and thrust washers for many popular engines.

Engine bearings from the MAHLE family

Clevite is a well-known name among engine builders and is today part of MAHLE, one of the major suppliers of engine components. Clevite bearings are used both in ordinary engine rebuilds and in engines built for motorsport. The range covers a large number of engines and is available in standard size as well as oversize and undersize, so the bearings can be matched to a crankshaft that has been ground or an engine with special tolerances.

Clevite’s key products

Rod and main bearings are the core of the range. Clevite offers both bearings for standard rebuilds and performance series with materials and designs intended for higher loads and revs. Cam bearings, thrust washers and bushings are also available for many engines. The bearings come in different sizes, so you can hit the right oil clearance when assembling the engine. See each product for engine and size fitment.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right bearing size?

Measure the crankshaft journals and the bearing bores, and choose bearings in the size that gives the desired oil clearance. Standard size is used for unground journals, while undersize is used when the crankshaft has been ground. Ask your engine builder if in doubt.

What is the difference between standard and performance bearings?

Performance bearings are developed for higher loads, for example with a turbo, high revs or motorsport. They may use different materials and a different design from standard bearings, which are mainly intended for ordinary rebuilds.
