Ford Racing Roller Camshaft Bearings - Needle Roller Engine Set

Ford Racing Roller Camshaft Bearings deliver a race-proven, precision friction-reduction upgrade engineered and backed by Ford Performance Parts. By replacing conventional plain cam bearings with a rolling-element needle roller design, these bearings measurably reduce parasitic power loss at the camshaft journals — liberating horsepower that would otherwise be consumed overcoming bearing drag. Each set is sold as a complete engine kit, supplying the full complement of bearings needed for a single engine build.

Key Features:

• Needle roller bearing technology — precision rolling-element construction replaces conventional plain cam bearings, delivering significant reductions in internal engine friction
• Splash-only lubrication — bearings operate on normal crankcase splash oiling alone, with no pressurized cam oiling passages required
• Improved oiling system efficiency — factory cam oil feed holes can be fully blocked off, redirecting oil volume to main and rod bearings where it is needed most
• Reduced oil aeration and windage losses — eliminating pressurized oil flow through the cam tunnel reduces oil mist and windage, recovering additional power
• High radial load capacity — needle roller construction handles the extreme loads generated by aggressive valve spring pressures common in high-performance and racing builds
• Complete engine sets — each kit includes the full bearing complement required for a single engine build
• Genuine Ford Performance Parts quality — designed, engineered, and developed to rigorous Ford standards for professional-grade reliability

Installation Notes:

Professional installation by a qualified engine builder is required. The engine block must be precision-machined to accept the roller bearing outer races, and an SAE 8620 steel camshaft is required for compatibility with the needle roller bearing surfaces. Some applications may also require camshaft retainer plate modifications. These bearings are intended for dedicated high-performance and racing environments where maximum friction reduction and power extraction are the primary objectives.

Ford Racing Roller Camshaft Bearings are the proven choice for professional engine builders and serious performance enthusiasts committed to extracting every available horsepower from their Ford engine builds.
