Clevite Chrysler V8 350-361-383-400-413-426-440 1958-1978 Camshaft Bearing Set

This Clevite camshaft bearing set, part number SH2152S, is built with a tri-metal construction. This means it uses three distinct layers of materials, each chosen for its specific job: a steel backing for strength, a bronze intermediate layer for durability, and a lead-tin-over-copper overlay for reduced friction against the camshaft. These bearings are crucial for supporting the camshaft within the engine block, allowing it to spin freely while maintaining precise oil clearance. Proper clearance is vital for oil flow and preventing wear on both the camshaft and the bearings themselves.

Designed specifically for Chrysler V8 engines from 1958 through 1978, this set includes the necessary bearings to replace all the camshaft bearings in your engine. For a 1969 Chrysler Newport, these bearings are a direct fit, meaning they are made to the original equipment specifications. Installing new camshaft bearings is often part of a larger engine rebuild or overhaul, ensuring the valvetrain operates smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
