Nevadavic Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) I have a 1934 Buick Series 57 with modified rod bearings. I would like to buy a new set of the insert rod bearings for my car. I pulled one of the rod caps off and found the following information on the bearing: CLEVITE 77 B-1 (on one end and) 3/00 .020 CB-90P ( on the other.) See the photos. I know ‘Clevite’ is the manufacturer and .020 is probably the undersize for the bearing but I’m not sure about all the other information. I would like to buy a full set of these rod bearings. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can purchase a set? Found Them!! Lester Harris in Minden, NV had a set of Chrysler bearings for me. Thank you Lester! Thanks in advance for your help!

Nevadavic Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi raydurr, Wow, that was really a quick response! Thanks so much!

raydurr Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Clevite is a common manufacturer. NAPA , Ebay or almost any engine parts supplier can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Barrett Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 CB 90P is the Clevite number. Any good parts house should be able to cross it. I found International Harvester V8 bearings work for the 1935 90 series I converted to inserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
