Rod Bearings, HP-Series, .001 in. Extra, Bi-metal, Silicon Aluminum, Large Journal, Chevy, Small Block, Set of 8

King HP-Series rod bearings were developed mainly for drag race applications needing a material harder than the Babbitt top layer. These applications demanded a structure that could withstand high loads for short durations and still offer higher embeddability and compatibility. In response, King developed the HP-Series, featuring the Alecular metal structure.

The HP-Series is also suited for many performance applications with nodular cast iron crankshafts, such as street, strip, and some levels of Circle Track racing. Order the set recommended for your vehicle.

HP-Series bearings are particularly suitable for the following cases:
• When a tri-metal bearing's Babbitt overlay extrudes over the sides, migrates to one end, or is physically removed by the crankshaft
• When the intermediate layer of a tri-metal bearing is exposed, damaging the crank journal and requiring expensive grinding or replacement
• When contaminants enter the oil stream, scratching and damaging the crankshaft journals
