BTR Gen V Camshaft Retainer Plate
BTR Camshaft Retainer Plate & Bolt Kit #BTR89016
New cam. Fresh seals. Secure installation.
Complete your camshaft installation with a fresh BTR camshaft retainer plate and matching Chevrolet Performance mounting bolts.
The BTR89016, an equivalent to GM 12589016, retains the camshaft in its proper axial position and seals the front oil passages behind the timing cover. Its integrated sealing material helps keep pressurized oil where it belongs—inside the engine’s lubrication system.
Replacing the plate during a camshaft swap refreshes this important seal while the timing assembly is already accessible. Our kit also includes four Chevrolet Performance 11561455 countersunk cam retainer bolts, providing the matching hardware for installation.
Kit includes
(1) BTR89016 camshaft retainer plate, equivalent to GM 12589016
(4) Chevrolet Performance 11561455 cam retainer bolts, for countersunk plates
Why replace it during a cam swap?
Refreshes the retainer plate’s integrated oil-passage seal
Replaces the existing camshaft thrust surface
Includes four new matching mounting bolts
A practical addition to your camshaft installation parts list
Installation note: These bolts secure the retainer plate to the engine block; they are separate from the bolts that attach the timing sprocket to the camshaft. Verify application compatibility and follow the applicable service procedure for installation and tightening.
