[QUOTE="mna0121, post: 397721, member: 2868"] Going to be some uh-oos along the way and beings this is a tec. article I am going to share the experiences of my buddies that help me with this rig. First up is Mr. LS, JR Gortemolier. The first thing he does with a block that has new cam bearings is fit the cam. Cam bearings are a press fit, usually with a hammer and cam installation tool beginning with the rear most bearings working out to the front. Sometimes the faces of the bearings get smashed enough to make the shaft hang or worst case not let the shaft slide in without tapping it home. We don't tap and just my luck the cam would not slide past the next to the rear bearing. Once we cleared that one up it would not slide into the rear most bearing. We tried a stock shaft and it hung in the same places so we knew it was the bearings. We used a brake piston hone on a drill to clearance the bearings a little at the time. Rear bearing was worse. Took most of the morning to do this. I special ordered Dura-Bond cam and mail bearings, the clearance destroyed the coating and hurt my feelings in the process. If low or no oil pressure occurs at start up this will be a good place to suspect. [/QUOTE]
