Description

V-Series Bearings

These parts
essentially duplicate the
former Vandervell parts under
the Clevite part numbering
system. (Same core part no.
as standard passenger car
parts but with a suffix
letter “V”).V series rod
bearings typically have low
to medium eccentricity and a
hardened steel back. All V
series main sets use a single
piece thrust bearing rather
than the former Vandervell
assembled type of
construction. V series parts
are not available with
oversize chamfers. extra
clearance parts are available
with a suffix VX (.001″ extra
clearance), and VXX (.002″
extra clearance) for some
applications. V series
bearings do not have flash
plating on the steel back.
Narrowed parts are available
with a VN suffix for some
applications. These are made
to accommodate increased
crankshaft fillet clearance.

The chief difference
between the V seriesand other
Clevite TriMetal bearings is
the use of a lead-indium
overlay. Use V series
bearings if prior experience
has shown a preference for
the lead-indium type of
overlay. Lead indium overlay
offers somewhat better
conformability than
leadtin-copper overlay with
slightly reduced wear
resistance.
