Clevite Ford 98 1.6L 4 Cyl 1971-80 Camshaft Bearing Set

This is a Clevite SH711S camshaft bearing set, designed for Ford 1.6L 4-cylinder engines from 1971 through 1980. These bearings are crucial for supporting the camshaft and ensuring it spins freely within the engine block. Proper camshaft bearing function is essential for valve timing and overall engine performance.

Clevite is a well-known name in engine bearings, and this set is built to meet the needs of these classic Ford engines. The SH711S set is a direct replacement for the original bearings, meaning it fits right into the camshaft bore without modification. This makes installation more straightforward for mechanics and DIYers alike. When rebuilding or repairing the engine on a vehicle like a Ford Pinto, Mercury Capri, or Ford Fiesta from this era, replacing these bearings is a standard procedure to ensure proper lubrication and reduce wear on the camshaft.
