Cylinder Block: Camshaft Bearings: Installation
- Bearings are available prefinished to size for standard and .015" (.38 mm) undersize journal diameters. Bearings are not interchangeable from one bore to another. When installing new bearings, oil holes must be aligned.
- Ensure pulling plate and puller screw are centered to avoid damage to bearing. Front bearing must be installed .005-.020" (.13-.51 mm) below front face of cylinder block. Apply sealer to outside diameter and install camshaft bearing bore plug. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
CAUTION:
When checking camshaft end play, DO NOT attempt to pry camshaft back and forth with valve train load on camshaft.
