Cam bearings???

[Ferendon]

I thought MAIN bearing where the cam bearings... They're the crank bearings... What do I use for the camshafts? Do they just sit in there or what? I know the lifter push up on them all the time, and I've never seen anyone mention cam bearings...

The cam bearings are machined into the head. There is no replaceable bearing for them. This is why it is important to put each bearing cap in the exact same position when removing them. Be careful, if you booger one up or strip the head, you will be SOL.


FYI, main bearings are the bearings used to hold the crank to the block.

I have a set... should I do them while I'm doing my rod bearings??? and what about the thrust bearings?

If you are doing it with the motor in the car then good luck because you have to lower the crank. I'd just do the rod bearings.
