H Series Main Bearings STD - RB Engine - LARGE THRUST Size: STD / Series: H / Material: TM-77 / Journal Size: 2.750" (RB Engine) / Oversized Fillet Clearance Champher: YES / Oil Groove: Full .100" / THESE FIT 1974-79 RB (440) blocks only. WILL NOT FIT 1973 and earlier engines. Originally developed for Nascar racing, H series are made of TM-77 material, however they are not flash plated with the lead/tin apparently in an effort to help them seat better. They also have enlarged champhers to help them clear bigger crankshaft fillets. They also have a medium level of eccentricity. A good overall performance bearing.
Bearing Knife Our bearing knife is a useful tool to have during engine assembly. Used for both champhering the outer edge of rod and main bearings (sometimes necessary for crankshafts with large fillet radiuses) as well as "shaving" cam bearings which encounter some distortion after installation. Also works great for just general deburring of sharp edges.
