Chevy Cam Button

The CLOYES Chevy Cam Button (part number 9-200) is a precision camshaft thrust button engineered for small-block and big-block Chevy V8 engines. This steel roller-style button measures 0.925 inches in length and manages camshaft endplay by providing controlled contact between the camshaft and the engine block, a critical function in maintaining proper valve timing and preventing premature wear on cam lobes and cylinder head surfaces.

Built from hardened steel in natural finish, this cam button transfers thrust loads evenly and resists the cyclic stress generated during engine operation. The roller design reduces friction and binding compared to flat buttons, allowing smoother camshaft rotation and extending component life. At just 0.17 lbs, it's a lightweight but essential wear item suited for street engines, performance builds, and high-RPM applications where endplay control is non-negotiable. CLOYES is a recognized manufacturer of OE-quality cam timing components for domestic V8 platforms, and this button meets the dimensional and material specifications required for proper fit and function.

This product is essential during engine assembly, cam timing verification, or top-end rebuilds on Chevy V8 engines. Whether restoring a classic small-block 350, refreshing a 454 big-block, or diagnosing excessive camshaft movement in an existing engine, the correct thrust button spec prevents catastrophic bearing damage and ensures consistent valve operation. Sold individually, this cam button allows builders to replace worn or damaged originals and establish proper clearances per manufacturer specifications.
