Introducing the new Cad Company grooved cam bearings - made to our specs by durabond. They incorperate a groove around the outside to allow oil to flow around the the second hole, which allows oil to enter the bearing on the loaded side, decreasing the chance of bearing failure due to high spring pressure. They also have an oil clearance closer to the middle of the factory spec, instead of tighter like the other off-the-shelf bearings, eliminating the need to clearance the bearings during assembly. If you have a problem with the cam bearings 'smearing', these bearings are the solution.

For more info, keep an eye on the new products page.

The new Engine ID Guide is available in PDF form.

The new home of Cad Company 8.2 Litre Performance Parts. This company is the originator of performance parts for the Cadillac 472/500/425 engine family, and has been in active operation since 1984. We can supply you with every single piece and part you'll ever need to hotrod, upgrade, overhaul, maintain, race and tow with these great motors. (*Well, almost every part).

Our regular telephone hours are from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm, Mountain Time. We suggest you obtain our catalog prior to calling with questions about what we sell, what it costs, etc., as there is a ton of information in our $5.00 catalog.

Our business revolves around parts support for the Cad 472/500/425 engines, building complete engines, and offering installation (swap) kits for just about any vehicle.

Currently, we only offer a few items beyond stock rebuild parts for the early Cadillac 331", 365", 390" & 429's, and we do not carry anything for the 4.1/4.5/4.9 Litre, or Northstar engines. However, we will be adding more parts soon.
