What is the material of these camshaft bearings?

These Clevite camshaft bearings are made from a tri-metal material. This construction typically includes a steel backing for strength, a bronze alloy layer for load carrying, and a babbitt overlay for a low-friction surface.

What is the purpose of camshaft bearings?

Camshaft bearings support the camshaft within the engine block, allowing it to rotate smoothly. They are critical for maintaining proper valve timing and ensuring the camshaft operates without excessive wear.

Are these bearings a direct fit for my Cummins engine?

This set is designed as a direct replacement for specific Cummins engine models including the 6, KT19, KT450, KTA1150-C525, and KTA1150-C600. Always verify your specific engine model against the listed fitment.

Product Details

This camshaft bearing set from Clevite is made from a tri-metal material, a common choice for high-performance engine components. This construction offers a good balance of strength and wear resistance for the demanding environment inside your Cummins engine. These bearings are designed to support the camshaft, ensuring it spins smoothly and maintains proper valve timing. They are a direct replacement for the original bearings, making them a straightforward part of an engine rebuild or repair.

The tri-metal construction typically involves a steel backing for strength, a middle layer of bronze alloy for load carrying, and a thin overlay of babbitt (a soft bearing metal) to provide a low-friction surface that conforms to the camshaft. This design helps to reduce friction and wear on both the camshaft and the bearings themselves, which is crucial for the longevity of your engine. When you're rebuilding the top end of your Cummins, a fresh set of well-made bearings like these is essential for proper operation.
