The V series are the newest of the high performance bearings in the Clevite 77 line. These
parts essentially duplicate the former Vandervell parts under the Clevite 77 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 dowe
l holes or 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.
The chief difference between the V series and all other Clevite 77 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 lead-tin-copper
overlay with slightly reduced wear resistance
