What is the purpose of camshaft bearings?

Camshaft bearings are precision-machined components that sit in the engine block. They provide a low-friction surface for the camshaft journals to rotate within, ensuring the camshaft stays properly aligned and spins smoothly.

Do I need to replace these bearings during an engine rebuild?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace camshaft bearings whenever the camshaft is removed or during a full engine rebuild. Old bearings can be worn, leading to improper camshaft alignment and oil pressure issues.

What is the sizing of these bearings?

This is a standard size camshaft bearing set. If your engine requires an undersize or oversize bearing due to crankshaft or block machining, please consult the manufacturer's specifications for the correct part number.
