recommended at the 4 o'clock position. Draw a sharpie mark on your block with the engine upright at 4 o clock. Spin the engine upside down. Now you will see your mark at the 10 o clock position NOT at the 8 o'clock position. This guy is making the mistake of flipping the drawing 180 not spinning the drawing 180. The drawing on the block doesn't lie. also some older blocks don't have the groove if you put them in with out lining up the holes you will ruin your bearings in 60 seconds.
?? all Chevy blocks have an oil grove all the way around. Technically the bearing will still get oil no matter what.. maybe i did not explain myself good on the video ? i also checked to make sure the bearing is within the oil groove.. done a ton of bearing install never had a issue .. only time there can be a issue if the bearing is cocked when installed with the bore... you would know that right away because the cam wont spin or go in.
Thanks mate. I did find this was very helpful. My sbc 355 cam bearings were installed wrong by the machine shop so I would do them over the right way. Thanks again chap.
Great video. Nice cam bearing tool. I put #2,3 and 4 in at 5 o'clock or 7 o'clock. And I put oil in the bore and on the cam bearing. To give the bearings some lubrication for installation. Really helps. Give it a try if you want. I have been using a Allen wrench for over 40 years, take a small mirror and a light when you're verifying that your Allen wrench intersects the oil groove. I never seen anyone else do that, so good job. On #1, I put one hole lined up with the hole in the mains and the second hole at 90°. Puts a little more oil for the cam thrust. Anyways, very good job. I will subscribe to your channel. Take care, Ed.
Thank you ed ... note: I am just a backyard mechanic but over the years I have seen this from other builds.. i find every machinist has their own way depending on their background and what the motor was intended for. by the way, where are you located and how do i get in touch .. I have another engine that needs some love ... or you can email at maldo72motorsports@yahoo.com
you have to hand it to you-tubers who make videos and make it seem easy when they speak. even after all this time I still feel like a bumbling idiot when I speak on Camera.. lol but thank you for watching and the support on the channel ...
Im teaching my 10 yr old how to do this right now. This is a really good video. But i will say this . I have run across an old block that didnt have that groove. Maybe thats why they say the sht they do ? Believe it or not this kinda knowledge is in short supply these days.
You're the first person I've ever seen not overcomplicate the explanation. Thank you!
Thank you for watching
