Product Description
MAHLE Heavy Duty "Double Thrust" Camshaft Bearing Set - Standard Size
Upgrade your engine build with this MAHLE Heavy Duty Camshaft Bearing Set. Designed for high-performance or high-mileage air-cooled Volkswagen engines, this “Double Thrust” set provides superior camshaft stability compared to standard single-thrust bearings.
Why Choose Double Thrust?
Standard bearing sets only provide thrust control on one side. This heavy-duty set includes two flanged thrust bearings, offering double the surface area to control camshaft end-play. Ideal for engines running high-lift cams or heavy-duty valve springs.
