Camshaft Bearing
| Brand | Part Number | Markets | Notes | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DURA-BOND | DA2 | 🇺🇸 US | Standard | View on Amazon |
This table covers the Camshaft bearings. Typical signs include a growl that rises with speed, or play in the shaft or hub. Set preload the way the notes specify. A dry or crushed bearing fails quickly.
One part is listed for the 1955 MG TF — DURA-BOND DA2.
Cylinder Repair Sleeve
| Brand | Part Number | Markets | Notes | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MELLING | CSL704A | 🇺🇸 US | 1/8 IN Wall Thickness | View on Amazon |
| MELLING | CSL604A | 🇺🇸 US | 3/32 IN Wall Thickness | View on Amazon |

Oil Filter
| Brand | Part Number | Markets | Notes | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HASTINGS / BALDWIN | LF172 | 🇺🇸 US | View on Amazon |
This table covers the oil filters that screw onto this engine's filter mount. Typical signs include low oil pressure after a service, or a filter that will not spin off because the old gasket stayed on the block. Lube the new gasket and tighten to the spec on the box; a double-gasket install dumps the sump on the first drive.
This group shows a single part: HASTINGS / BALDWIN LF172.
