BHJ Cam Bearing Installer

Part No: CBT-1

The Cam Bearing Installer smoothly draws both Babbit and roller bearings into position using a heavy duty sealed-bearing drive hub. Precise-fitting guide plugs supplied in 24 common sizes (up to 55mm roller), hold the bearing square to the housing bore, ensuring straight installation.

Distortion-free installation, elimination of incorrect positioning of the bearings and easy oil-hole positioning make BHJ's Cam Bearing Installer superior to any other method of bearing installation. Bearings may also be removed from the block in the same manner, using the supplied removal sleeve.

Conventional cam bearing installation tools use an expanding rubber-covered mandrel and a large hammer. This method allows the bearing to shift and potentially be driven in crooked. This can cause the camshaft to bind, leading to instant bearing failure. When installing needle type roller bearings, this method is absolutely prohibited by the bearing manufacturer, as it causes sidewall distortion, which locks the needles to the cage and prevents proper rotation.

The CBT-1 is supplied in a sturdy, foam padded plastic case for storage and includes an application size chart for easy guide plug selection. Replacement and larger-size Guide Plugs (including 60mm roller) are also available. The maximum useable length of the draw bar is 24", with the Installer assembled as shown above. A Draw Bar Extension may be purchased separately for longer blocks, such as 6 and 12 cylinder applications.

For projects using only one size cam bearing, the Cam Bearing Installer is also available in a one-size-only Kit, which is supplied with one guide plug (specify when ordering).
