M-2165586 | Caterpillar 3114/3116/3126/C7/C9 Camshaft Bearing

The camshaft bearings in a diesel engine are responsible for supporting the camshaft and allowing it to rotate smoothly. They are usually made of a durable material like bronze or steel and are located in the engine block.

 

Camshaft bearings should be replaced if they become worn or damaged. Signs of wear or damage include excessive noise, rough running, or a loss of power. It is important to replace worn or damaged camshaft bearings as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the engine. 

 

Regular maintenance and oil changes can help prolong the life of camshaft bearings. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect the camshaft bearings during routine engine maintenance to ensure they are in good condition.
