HP Cam Bearing - Fits SBC Brodix Alum. Block

The DURA-BOND HP Cam Bearing (CHP-5-3) is a high-performance camshaft bearing engineered for small block Chevy engines running Brodix aluminum blocks. This precision component maintains critical journal clearances under sustained high RPM operation, making it essential for performance builds where reliability and repeatability matter. Designed to OEM specifications, the HP cam bearing delivers the consistent support required during cold-start cold-flow testing and sustained dyno pulls.

The bearing maintains standard journal sizing and is specifically fitted for Brodix aluminum block architecture, ensuring proper seating and oil flow distribution to the camshaft. DURA-BOND cam bearings are manufactured to tight tolerances that minimize micro-slip at the bearing interface—a critical factor in preventing accelerated wear during high-lift, high-duration cam profiles. The compact design (2.45 x 1.2 x 3.65 inches, 0.1 lbs) integrates seamlessly into tight block passages without requiring port modifications.

This bearing is the correct choice for engine builders and machine shops assembling small block Chevy performance packages on Brodix aluminum platforms. Whether building for sustained street performance, dedicated road course duty, or controlled dyno testing, proper cam bearing fitment prevents catastrophic cam walk and oil starvation at the bearing surface. Sold individually, allowing builders to source replacement or upgrade bearings without buying complete bearing sets.

DURA-BOND is recognized in the engine building community for bearing products that meet original equipment specifications while maintaining the precision fit required by modern performance applications. When fitment and reliability are non-negotiable, OEM-equivalent bearings eliminate guesswork during engine assembly.
