5.9 C Mahle Cam Bearing Big Block

Part: 5.9 C Mahle Cam Bearing Big Block

Part Number: SH876S

Manufacturer: Mahle

Description:

This part is a Mahle Cam Bearing for Cummins 5.9L engines. Specifically, this is a big block cam bearing, which is a crucial component in the engine’s camshaft system.

The cam bearing helps to support the camshaft as it rotates within the engine block. It ensures smooth rotation and reduces friction between the camshaft and the block, which is essential for maintaining engine performance and longevity. The camshaft controls the timing of the engine’s valves, so the bearing plays a vital role in the engine’s overall efficiency and functionality.

This cam bearing is specifically designed for Cummins 5.9L engines, which are commonly found in light-duty trucks (such as the Dodge Ram) and medium-duty trucks. The “big block” designation refers to the specific version of the camshaft and block design, which is larger in some dimensions compared to other variants.

The bearing is made from high-quality bearing materials, usually steel-backed with a copper or bronze insert, designed to withstand the stresses, heat, and high pressures that occur within the engine.

Mahle is a well-known and respected brand in the engine parts industry, providing high-quality components that meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) standards. Mahle cam bearings are engineered for durability, precise fitment, and long-lasting performance.
