FAQ
Is SH-1404 the correct bushing for my 1995 12-valve?
Yes—SH-1404 covers 1989–1996 5.9L Cummins 12V (VE & P-pump). 1997+ STORM blocks typically use a different front bushing.
How many bushings do I need?
One per engine (front cam support). This part is sold individually.
Do I need to machine after pressing it in?
SH-1404 is pre-finished. If the housing bore is within spec and alignment is correct, additional machining is generally not required.
