durabond cam bearings

does anybody know the part number for the wide durabond cam bearings that fit 460 engines. thanks

FP-26-1 I got'em you want some?

Dura-Bond doesn't offer a set like that ... single bearings need to be bought in multiples to get there.
That is how some of us can offer them in sets of 5.

EDIT: I've actually had requests to purchase just 1 bearing to be used for the front bearing and also only 4 bearings for all positions except the rear.
You can get whatever you wish...

thanks lem and randy. i new there was a trick to it could find a set number on their web site.

The set actually consists of the #1 cam journal bearing from sets from a 351 cleveland. But, the guy's like Randy and Lem order alot of bearings , so they can get you a set of all #1 wide bearings

Lance, those you installed for me I bought from Randy but Lem has them also.

thanks fellas. i got some coming from lem.

so when using these do you only install the 1 bearing in front? or install all 5 bearingings?

The WIDER bearings are the same width as the camshaft journals where the regular bearings are about .090" narrower than the camshaft journals; (except the rear).

The bearings are #1 CLEVELAND engine bearings in a set and they fit all 5 locations of a 429/460 block.  That front bearing takes most of the abuse with the forces of the timing set also involved however, what you do is entirely up to you.

I would rather put them in all 5. So you buy them separate

What I have is a set of 5 #1 cleveland cam bearings.

You could buy 5 separate #1 Cleveland cam bearings if you wanted to pay a lot of money for the individuals.

When we buy them a hundred bearings or more at a time, they are not near as expensive and the sets of them are less money to you...

Lem

Called today and talked to Aron and got the cam bearing coming. but he was unable to find a price on a B460 head gasket set...

$53 for the head gaskets.

Are these no.1 Cleveland bearings the ones now available as a set on the the Durabond site?

"FP-30AT Notes: HIGH PERFORMANCE; (Special Bearing Set w/ Wide No. 1-5 Position); (Coated)/OHV /8Cyl 7.0L 7030CC 429 V"

It is a NEW part number and Dura-Bond now offers a set of wide bearings but, only in the expensive "coated" variety.

When I sell out of my "coated" sets I will not offer the higher dollar coated bearings anymore however, the High Performance UN-COATED "wider" cam bearing set will still be available from me.

The last time I inquired to Dura-Bond about them this past summer ... they didn't have any sets on the shelf to be shipped.
Maybe they do now.

Thanks, for the update!!

Randy,
At what point ( I'm thinking roller cam only) do you feel it's necessary to go to the wide bearings? Same for just doing the #1 bearing. I have a spare 351C front bearing and could change mine if "necessary" on my mild hydraulic roller combo. If not , I'm good to leave it with the standard 460 bearing.

Personally, I put at least the wider front bearing in everything I build.

Valve spring pressure would decide the rest for me. Anything over 220 pounds force on the seat or 600 pounds force open I always use them whether they are really needed or not.

How much you get for an uncoated set?

Randy,

Why are the expensive "coated" variety not the High Performance version?, or is it the coating is overrated but less affordable and the wider version is High Performance whether is is coated or not?.

they are, they are Teflon coated race bearings, $80 set through summit..

I suggest if you don't like the dealers on here prices then you need to go to Summit and get engine build advice from them...... JMHO

who are you? the sergeant at arms? this is a tech forum, he asked what the coated bearings were, coated standard or coated race, I answered and gave him an option with a price..
