Clevite® Engine Bearings

Since our development of the first precision insert-type bearing in 1929, Clevite 77 engine bearings have set the pace for engineering quality. Clevite 77 engine bearings are built above industry standards for strength and durability –even exceeding the highest standards set by Heavy Duty engine manufacturers. The majority of Clevite 77 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 77 Engine Bearings manufactured by us are color coded for quick and positive identification of undersizes. The possibility of confusion or errors in installation is virtually eliminated by checking the color code on the side of each bearing.

Clevite 77 has an extensive, long-standing history with racing.  Our Clevite 77 product has been winning NASCAR-sanctioned races since 1948, and is the exclusive bearing of NASCAR Performance. 

We offer the most extensive line of performance engine bearings in the market. Our range of performance engine bearings is designed to provide winning results even in the most demanding applications. Our involvement in INDY, NASCAR, ARCA, NHRA and IHRA racing as well as other forms of motorsports have proven Clevite to be the leaders in engine bearing technology both on the track and off.

The Clevite 77 line offers extensive coverage for all domestic and import light vehicle applications. We also offer a complete line-up of heavy vehicle, off-road, industrial, agricultural and marine applications.

It's no wonder that Clevite 77 is used more often than any other bearings in cars worldwide and in most race cars. In addition, Clevite 77 has been in most winning engines at Indianapolis and NASCAR. And that's why, year after year, quality engines everywhere turn on Clevite 77 bearings.
