Clevite, a brand of MAHLE Aftermarket, offers three new coated bearing applications for high horsepower engines designed to add durability and less distortion at higher RPM levels.

New stock options include a performance coated H-Series connecting rod bearing set for the GM 200-229 cid V6 (part #CB-1227HK). Previously available as a custom order, the new H-Series connecting rod bearing set features a fluoropolymer-based coating that adds protection in extreme hot and cold weather, reduces friction to fight dry starts, and ensures long-term durability with less wear for high load engines.

Clevite H-Series bearings, originally developed for NASCAR, utilize a medium level of eccentricitywhich helps keep rod housing bore deflection and deformation to a minimum. Additionally, high crush helps to ensure good heat transfer and resistance to rotation under minimum oil film conditions in the engine.

For enthusiasts competing in diesel drag and tractor pull competition, Clevite now offers V-Series bearings for the Dodge Cummins 5.9L with a performance coating (part # CB-1413VK and MS-2328VK), for engines that push 2,500 horsepower. The new performance coated bearings reduce friction and drag for increased horsepower and resist breakdown under high-load conditions.

Additionally, Clevite now offers a Teflon-based, performance-coated camshaft bearing set for the Generation V GM 6.2L V8 small block (part #SH2231S) that may be used for high output boosted LT1 and LT4 engines that have increased valve spring pressures.

Carrillo Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods for Ford 7.3L Godzilla

These pistons are forged from 2618T aluminum alloy and machined on dedicated CNC machine cells to tight tolerances. 2618 aluminum has a lower silicon content than other alloys. That makes the pistons stronger and more ductile—perfect for high-load, high-stress applications like superchargers, turbochargers, or nitrous oxide.  Other features include:• Rated to handle up to 1,500

Fluidampr Harmonic Damper from Summit Racing Equipment

The factory harmonic damper on your modern GM, Ford, or Mopar V8 are ‘tuned’ to absorb what’s called torsional vibration in the engine’s normal operating RPM range. Performance modifications, particularly ones that increase torque, produce added vibration in an RPM range that the elastomer damper wasn’t designed to handle. That vibration will accelerate component wear,
