The MAHLE ORIGINAL/CLEVITE Rod Bearing for Honda 2.2L DOHC VTEC (1997–2001) is a precision-engineered connecting rod bearing designed for H-series four-cylinder engines. This OEM-quality bearing (part number CB-1780H) restores critical crankshaft-to-connecting rod clearance that deteriorates under sustained engine load. Whether you're operating a center console, sportfisher, or cabin cruiser powered by a Honda four-cylinder, a worn connecting rod bearing will generate destructive metal-to-metal friction, increased operating temperature, and eventual catastrophic engine failure.
Rod bearings operate in a hydrodynamic oil film that requires precise dimensional tolerance. MAHLE/CLEVITE manufactures to exacting standards, ensuring proper fit and load distribution across the bearing shell. The standard-size specification (H-designation) indicates this bearing matches factory dimensions for engines running stock crankshafts with no prior reboring. Proper bearing selection is non-negotiable—oversized or undersized bearings will result in inadequate oil clearance, bearing failure, or metal debris circulation that contaminates the entire lubrication system. This single bearing covers one of two connecting rods in the four-cylinder layout.
Marine engine rebuilds require OEM-specification or OEM-equivalent bearings because boating applications impose sustained load and extended idle periods that accelerate wear. Weekend fishermen performing routine maintenance or serious offshore operators executing a full bottom-end rebuild both depend on bearing quality to guarantee 500+ hours of reliable service between overhauls. This CLEVITE bearing is sold individually—a complete connecting rod rebuild requires two bearings per engine.
CLEVITE is the OEM bearing supplier for Honda and has supplied factory rod bearings for decades. Sourcing this exact part number ensures compatibility with your H-series rebuild and eliminates guesswork when sourcing replacement internals for marine powertrain restoration or repair.
