What is the main function of camshaft bearings?

Camshaft bearings act as a low-friction surface between the camshaft and the engine block. Their primary role is to support the camshaft, allowing it to rotate smoothly while minimizing wear on both the camshaft journals and the block itself.

Are these bearings undersized or oversized?

The SH1321S part number indicates that these are standard size bearings. They are intended for use in engine blocks where the camshaft bearing bores are still within factory specifications or have been machined back to standard size.

What else might I need when installing camshaft bearings?

Installing camshaft bearings typically requires specialized tools for removal of the old bearings and installation of the new ones. It's also essential to ensure the camshaft journals and the bearing bores in the block are clean and within specified tolerances. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct procedure.
