Sealed Power 1838M Engine Camshaft Bearing Set

Sealed Power 1838M Camshaft Bearing Set

Sealed Power 1838M is a standard-size engine camshaft bearing set for Ford applications that need precise camshaft support and controlled oil delivery. It is built with steel-backed babbitt or bronze alloy materials and includes No. 2 and No. 3 spec oil control bearings with a 360-degree outside diameter groove for improved oiling versus the original design.

Key Features

• Standard-size engine camshaft bearing set for service replacement
• Steel-backed babbitt or bronze alloy construction
• No. 2 and No. 3 bearings feature a 360-degree OD groove for improved oiling
• Full set configuration for camshaft bearing service
• Sealed Power engineering uses ISO- and QS-certified manufacturing processes

Product Details

Built for Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco II, and Ford Aerostar engine service, Sealed Power 1838M supports proper camshaft alignment and oil control in the valve train. The grooved No. 2 and No. 3 bearings differ from OE design to improve lubrication flow where oiling demand is critical. This part cross-references 4C1002BS and BC1390S for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Camshaft bearing wear that can affect valve train operation
• Oil starvation at cam bearing locations
• Excessive camshaft clearance from worn bearing surfaces
• Noisy or inconsistent upper-engine lubrication conditions
• Service replacement needs during engine rebuilds

Installation Notes

Fits 1983-1992 Ford Ranger, N/A, with bearings for position numbers 2 and 3 grooved on the outside diameter for improved oiling. Fits 1984-1990 Ford Bronco II, N/A, with bearings for position numbers 2 and 3 grooved on the outside diameter for improved oiling. Fits 1986 Ford Aerostar, N/A, with bearings for position numbers 2 and 3 grooved on the outside diameter for improved oiling. Verify bearing sizing, oil hole alignment, and block condition before installation. Proper engine machining and cleaning are important for camshaft bearing service.

Quality Assurance

Sealed Power parts are manufactured with modern materials and controlled production processes to meet demanding engine service requirements. Part number 1838M is supplied as a standard-size replacement bearing set for the listed Ford applications.
