7.3 Ford OEM Cam Bushing

Part: 7.3 Ford OEM Cam Bushing

Part Number: F81Z1000155AA

Manufacturer: Ford

Description:

The OEM Cam Bushing for the Ford 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel engine is a precision-engineered component designed to support the camshaft within the engine block, ensuring proper alignment, smooth rotation, and long-term durability. As a critical interface between the camshaft and the block, the cam bushing provides a low-friction surface that allows the camshaft to rotate freely while maintaining its exact positioning—a key factor in ensuring accurate valve timing and overall engine efficiency.

In the 7.3L Powerstroke, which relies heavily on mechanical precision and oil pressure to operate everything from valve actuation to fuel injection, the condition of the cam bushing directly affects performance and reliability. Over time, excessive wear, contamination, or poor lubrication can cause the bushing to deteriorate. When this happens, it can lead to increased friction, misalignment, uneven camshaft wear, oil pressure loss, and ultimately, reduced engine performance or failure if left unaddressed.

If you’re rebuilding your 7.3L or addressing internal engine wear, don’t overlook the importance of a quality cam bushing. Protect your camshaft, restore oil pressure balance, and ensure the long-term health of your Powerstroke engine with a genuine OEM Cam Bushing built for lasting performance.
