Title: Anyone out there use the new Clevite/Clemex vw rod bearings? Post by: Taylor on December 21, 2012, 21:14:01 pm I got a set when I couldn't find any KS. When I went to use them, the tang doesn't fit and it isn't deep enough to lock in. Bad set? Or are they all this bad? I am pretty disappointed as I was hoping a box with Clevie on it would be as good as their Chevy rod bearings I have used. Mahle it is I guess!

Post by: Taylor on December 23, 2012, 00:54:32 am I went down to Adam Wiks shop and got some KS bearings abd they fit like a glove. I am going to post a picture tonight of the Clevite bearing. Adam told me that you have to hand fit the clevites.
