That was an outstanding explanation of how to locate your cam bearings. first one i have seen that really made sense of why and where the oil holes should be located.

I'm pulling apart a 5.7 vortec in one of our old workhorses that lost oil pressure. I realized several of the cam bearings had moved out of factory position. This video was a life saver, thank you very much.

When I was in technical school many years ago we were taught to NEVER touch a bearing surface with our bare hands! The acid on your skin causes premature erosion on the bearing surface!
@electricguysvcs4 жыл бұрын
I gotta say - in my 40 years of playing with cars and swapping engines, that almost sounds ludicrous. My buds and I have taking apart chevys small blocks - swapped - interchanged parts - as well as restarted parked cars. And we still got the engines to run. naturally if an engine is blow, then it's blown. I'm not saying that tech school might not have a point - but 100 years from now? 200 years from now with the erosion? In other words -go ahead and build an engine

This is the right way not lining the oil hole to the main bearing oil hole where the cam is pushing down against it. This way it creates an oil wedge causing the cam rotation to carry the oil to the high pressure spot at the bottom.It works the same as con rod bearing oiling

About to replace my cam bearings on a 1pc seal 880 block. It's a 2200.00 dollar block that was new and CNCd for up to a 3.80 stroke. The cam bearings are clocked all over the place. Your absolutely correct about the oil wedge and valve train pressure. My #1 front bearing has one hole at 6 o'clock lined up with the main bearing oil feed hole and the second hole is at 2 o'clock. The whole bottom ⅓ of it anyways has excessive wear. #2 @ 4:30, #3 @ 2:30, #4 @ 6 o'clock and not sure about #5 at the moment but suspect it could also be at 6 o'clock. Anyways I've installed them in the past based off your video and will be again next weekend. Thanks. Also the engine I'm discussing has around 15k miles on it. All roller from cam to rockers

I'm doing this on a 5.7 vortec, the only difference I see is that the vortec motor cam bearing bores have the complete inner circular groove for the oil supply, instead of just the one hole in the 8 o clock install position. Basically they all look like the #1 bearing.

when installing the bearings, which side do you install first, the farthest side from either of the ends? ? and do they all go in from the inside of the block outward? im thinking u would do the farthest away first, so you dont score any in the middle by the installer tool rubbing against the bearings? thanks

I just bought a 283 and that's exactly what I suspected... Two rods on a fresh rebuild were oil starved bc of metal shavings. I literally said man how would shavings be in the oil system like that. They looked almost as if it were a drill shaving but I'm thinking the oil pressure was pushing and pushing the crank was rotating and curled them up. Thank again. New subscriber. Share more. Haha.

Matter of fact, Honda's counter weight belt system is so typical in our three Honda service departments that it's an eye roll when another one comes in..... although a nice money maker for us.
