Type 1 Camshaft Bearing Set - Single Thrust

This standard camshaft bearing set is a high-quality replacement for all aircooled Volkswagen Type 1 engines ranging from 1200cc to 1600cc. Designed to original specifications, this set includes 6 precision-engineered bearings to ensure optimal camshaft support and smooth rotation inside the engine case. These are the single thrust type bearings, which are the factory-standard fitment used in stock engines and most everyday applications.

Camshaft bearings play a critical role in engine operation by supporting the camshaft, maintaining alignment, and reducing friction as the camshaft rotates to operate the engine’s intake and exhaust valves. Replacing worn or damaged bearings during an engine rebuild is essential for maintaining proper timing, oil pressure, and engine longevity.

This set comes with all 6 bearings required for a complete rebuild. Each bearing is manufactured to top-quality standards, ensuring perfect fitment and durability under heat and pressure.

Note:
If you are building a high-performance engine or want extra thrust support, check out our double thrust camshaft bearing set (Part No: 111198541DT).
