230 Camshaft Bearings

Recommended Posts

Can anyone enlighten me as to why the rear camshaft bearing isn't replaceable. Only the front 3 have an actual bearing. Is there any preparation that needs to be done the the very rear camshaft non replaceable bearing journal.

Should never need anything other than a bore size check to cam diameter and fit.

I've never had a worn one.

My thinking is the rear journal acts as more of a guide than anything due to the smaller diameter. The front 3 cam bearings would actually be doing all the support of the cam. Am I thinking correctly.

Yes, you are correct.  The rear bearing  is very lightly loaded.  I have never heard of one being worn out.
