Vehicle Fitment

• 2014-2025 Chevy Camaro and Corvette with 6.2 L Gen V V8 engines (LT1, LT4, L86)

Fitment Notes

• Extra oil clearance ("HX" specification) intended for engines with slightly optimistic crank journal tolerances or demanding thermal conditions; ensure journal diameter matches spec before selection.

Features

• Race-Series trimetal design for superior fatigue resistance and high-RPM durability
• Hardened steel backing to support bearing lining and improve retention
• Increased crush design for secure bearing seating
• No flash plating on bearing backs to enhance heat transfer and housing grip
• Increased eccentricity to accommodate bore distortion and optimize hydrodynamic oil film
• 3/4 grooved design on main bearings to boost load surface and oil flow to rod bearings
• Tight, consistent wall tolerances for reliable oil clearance control
• Chamfered edges to accommodate crankshaft fillet radii
