P series is the oldest series of Clevite high performance bearings. The rod bearings in this series typically have the greatest amount of eccentricity. P series rod bearings have high crush for maximum retention, and a reduced overlay thickness to prevent overlay fatigue, sometimes referred to as hen tracking.
Rod bearings use a hardened steel back for added strength and resistance to fretting. Extra clearance rod bearings are available by special order for .001” additional clearance and select fitting. Use the P series rod bearings where extremely high RPM’s cause severe rod bore close-in. This is typically indicated by nearly full parting line to parting line shaft contact with bearings having less eccentricity. Rod bearing oil starvation is typically indicated by polishing and smearing of the bearing surface, possibly accompanied by discoloration predominantly concentrated at the axial center of the bearings.
