Product Details

These Clevite SH291S camshaft bearings are made from a tri-metal material, a strong choice for supporting the camshaft in your Pontiac or GMC V8 engine. This set is specifically designed to fit a range of V8 displacements, including the 287, 288, 216, 336, 347, 370, and 389 cubic inch engines found in popular models from 1955 through 1962.

Proper camshaft bearing function is critical for maintaining correct camshaft alignment and oil flow within the engine block. Worn bearings can lead to increased friction, oil pressure loss, and potential camshaft damage. Clevite's tri-metal construction offers a good balance of strength and conformability, helping to absorb shock loads and provide a smooth surface for the camshaft journals. This set is a direct replacement for your original bearings, ensuring a proper fit during your engine rebuild or repair.

When rebuilding or repairing your Pontiac or GMC V8, ensuring all internal components are in good condition is key. This camshaft bearing set is a well-built component that helps restore proper engine function and longevity. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
