The Clevite HX-Series connecting rod bearings are specifically designed for engine builders who require extra oil clearance in their Cummins B Series 5.9L engines. These bearings maintain the legendary durability of the H-Series while providing the precise tolerances necessary for high-performance, high-output diesel applications. With a hardened steel back and high-crush design, they are built to handle the intense heat and pressure of modern diesel tuning.

Technical Advantages

• Extra Clearance: The 'X' designation provides additional oil clearance for high-RPM or high-boost builds.

• Precision Fit: No flash plating ensures consistent performance and easier break-in.
• Reliability: Engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty towing and competitive motorsports.

When building a high-performance Cummins 5.9L, oil clearance is critical to preventing oil starvation and bearing wipe. The HX-Series allows you to fine-tune your engine's internal clearances for maximum oil flow, ensuring your crankshaft stays lubricated under the most demanding conditions. This set is fully compatible with 1989-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Ensure your engine build is done right with high-quality components from GGCRACING.
