Some engines do not have camshaft bearings to reduce complexity and manufacturing costs. In these designs, the camshaft may run directly in the engine block or cylinder head, using machined surfaces to support the camshaft instead of separate bearings. This approach can also save weight and space, making it suitable for certain applications, particularly in smaller or simpler engines. Additionally, it can enhance oil flow and reduce the number of parts that can wear out over time.
In overhead valve (OHV) engines, cam bearings typically consist of replaceable, insert-style bearings made from materials like aluminum or steel-backed with a bearing lining. These bearings support the camshaft and allow it to rotate smoothly while maintaining proper alignment. Some engines may also use a non-replaceable, cast-in-place design, where the bearing surfaces are part of the engine block itself. Proper lubrication is essential to minimize wear and ensure optimal performance.

The camshaft closest to the intake manifold (closest to the passenger cabin) is the intake camshaft on the dual camshaft Saturn engines.
Some of the 1992 Rangers had the camshaft position sensor on top of the engine in the same hole where the distributor used to be. Some Ranger engines did not use a camshaft sensor at all.
The camshaft position sensor on a 2002 Mitsubishi Gallant is located behind the rear camshaft bearing. It constantly updates the vehicle' computer about the status of the camshaft.
Most engines use a key-way. Need more info.
no but you can make bushing for it
The camshaft position sensor on a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix is located behind the rear bearing of the camshaft. It constantly monitors the rotation of the camshaft and relays this information to the computer.
The camshaft sensor on a 2001 Chevrolet Venture is located behind the rear bearing cap. It monitors the rotation of the camshaft and updates the computer constantly.
The camshaft sensor on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am is located behind the rear bearing cap. It detects the position of the camshaft as it rotates and relays this information to the computer.
The camshaft position sensor on a 1991 Acura Legend is located at the back of the camshaft, near the rear bearing cap. It monitors the rotation of the camshaft and relays this information to the vehicle's computer.
