V-Series Bearings
These partsessentially duplicate theformer Vandervell parts underthe Clevite part numberingsystem. (Same core part no.as standard passenger carparts but with a suffixletter "V").V series rodbearings typically have lowto medium eccentricity and ahardened steel back. All Vseries main sets use a singlepiece thrust bearing ratherthan the former Vandervellassembled type ofconstruction. V series partsare not available withoversize chamfers. extraclearance parts are availablewith a suffix VX (.001" extraclearance), and VXX (.002"extra clearance) for someapplications. V seriesbearings do not have flashplating on the steel back.Narrowed parts are availablewith a VN suffix for someapplications. These are madeto accommodate increasedcrankshaft fillet clearance.
The chief differencebetween the V series andother CleviteTriMetalbearings is the use of alead-indium overlay. Use Vseries bearings if priorexperience has shown apreference for thelead-indium type of overlay.Lead indium overlay offerssomewhat betterconformability thanleadtin-copper overlay withslightly reduced wearresistance.
