Let's see how many comments I get correcting me on the pronunciation of "Lisle" lol

@ComicalCowboy1911 3 жыл бұрын

OMG WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!!! IT'S "LIE-UHL"!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! Sorry I had to! LOL! XD I had a family friend with that name years ago so I always knew how to pronounce it. However when it came to spelling it.................that's where my "Lisle" moment came in LOL! Also I kinda rushed my last cam bearing replacement a few months ago when I built my Magnum again. I can never get the oil holes perfect on the first try! If I have to reinstall new cam bearings more than once I get really pissed lol! Otherwise I think cam bearings are kinda fun to do! If you got all the holes well lined up on the first try you're a legend!

Nice share, we build engines daily we turn the block up side down and install the bearing aligning the feed holes next install the camshaft to make sure it turns freely then move forward!!

I know you know but the caliper jaws were set to deep in the bearing to measure the wall thickness, the tapered tips of the jaws are for that reason to measure thickness of the wall. we probably only talking bout a couple thousands or so thats why we call them veneer calipers very nears cuz they get you close but not perfect readings, no matter what brand or who is using them.

ive never done a magnum but the older la blocks the #2 and #4 bearing feeds oil up into the heads and into the rocker shafts and im not positive but i think the magnum feeds through the pushrods like a chevy. i take a marker and mark the block and the back of the bearing. the 408 that im build now ,i let the machine shop install them since they bored and cleaned my block.

When you reinstalled the cap on the back of the motor, how far did you hit it in? Do you take it as far as it can go? I'm doing one myself and not sure if it needs to contact the cam or sit flush with the outer edge of the block

@earlyhemibill 2 жыл бұрын

By chance are you in the Valiant club on facebook? The car looks familiar. I watched this video because I'm getting ready to put bearing in my Desoto hemi block. Been 40 years since I've done it, so I watched your video as a refresher course.

@garryhatchett775 3 жыл бұрын

Are the magnum and LA cam bearings the same? LA block has additional oil holes on 2&4 bearings for rocker shaft oil passage so placement of those oil holes is also crucial. Thanks for sharing.

@TheGasTap 3 жыл бұрын

Yes sir. Same part #. If you look at my bearings, 2&4 have 3 oiling holes.

Where did you get your Clevite cam bearings. All I can find is sealed power and enginetech. Thanks.

I purchased an EngineTech engine rebuild kit and they were in the kit.

If you're installing the main caps before the cam bearings, why not also install the heads? Seems to me the heads might also affect the shape of the block.

@TheGasTap 3 жыл бұрын

good point. I don't have an answer for you. I'm not sure if any of it matters. I'm just taking information that is available and applying it for the best possible results in my Garage build.

@ZPositive 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheGasTap I agree it's probably a negligible improvement. But now that I've had my eyes opened by that Hot Rod article, the geek in me will probably have a hard time _not_ also torque-ing the heads with some old head gaskets before the cam bearings.

Lol. Cool article right? I’m always reading!!!

I almost bought this one. The PT tool version of this is junk. The rubber sleeve would break all of the. The main concern is how most of these tools are made to work best with a small block Chevy.

@scottbarrtholf8053 2 жыл бұрын

After installing the bearings, is there anything special about how to install the rear camshaft seal/plug?

@TheGasTap 2 жыл бұрын

Just like installing a freeze plug.

@Tonys_Garage66 2 жыл бұрын

So in my situation I was just doing a cam swap and I noticed the cam bearings are worn and need replaced. My lower end is not taken apart but my engine is on a stand with the top end torn completely off. Is it still possible to replace these bearings as it sits? I have never taken pistons and crank out before so I'd like to leave the lower end alone.

I’ve done it before. It just takes a little more time.

It’s hard to get the wrench on from the top. It just takes a little longer.

I hate to buy that tool now. I should have bought one years ago. I used to take my blocks to have them vat cleaned and have cam bearings and freeze plugs installed. My shop is gone now and has been gone for years. I told a friend of mine that you have to build a trust with the person who does your machine work, and I honestly don't know who to take it to anymore. And I'm the only one I trust to build my engine's right.
