What are the torque specs on 2001 2.7 liter Dodge cam bearings?

There isn't a readily available, single torque specification for 2001 Dodge 2.7L cam bearings. The installation process doesn't typically involve torquing the bearings themselves. Instead, the camshaft is installed and then torqued to specification *against* the bearings.

The camshaft's installation requires a specific torque sequence and specification, which varies slightly depending on the exact engine code. You must consult a factory service manual for your specific 2001 Dodge 2.7L engine (the exact engine code will be on a sticker somewhere in the engine bay). This manual will provide the correct torque specifications for the camshaft retaining bolts. Improper torque can easily damage the camshaft, bearings, or other engine components.

Trying to find a generic torque spec online risks serious engine damage. Always use a factory service manual for this kind of work.
