Clevitte77 Coated Bearings - Contamination?

Ben Kallies · 09-28-2009, 12:25 PM

I just purchased a set of Clevitte 77 Coated H-series main and rod bearings for my Big Block Chevy Stocker. The main bearings look great, but all of the rod bearings seem to have some kind of particulates imbedded in the coating. I can feel it when I run my finger across the bearing surface, and some of it can even be seen. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal? Should I be concerned? I emailed Clevitte's tech line, but got no response. Thank you in advance for your help.
