Emil, good basic how to. A few additional tips – the drive washer was
missing between the shaft & expander. This will break the expander jaws –
been there, done that. The short 6cyl. shaft is not needed for v8s &
shouldn’t be pounded on directly. The primary driver has a head designed
for pounding. A heavy hammer is much better than a light or rubber one, you
want a thud when you hit. A light hit can bounce the driver & roll the edge
of the bearing causing more time spent fitting the cam.
Trolling lol
350 are pussy power sb get real
i have i viper motor with 350 big block heads
you forgot to use assembly lube didn’t you?
no! you dont want the cam bearing to spin!
too bad your an idiot
which bearing goes where?
I’m studying for the engine repair ase this helped a ton thanks!!
jesus, lubing the back of bearings before installing them.. 350 chev big
block heads on a v10 engine.. 350 big block heads mentioned at all..
replacing the cam to apparently fix bad cam bearings…. this thing is full
of morons! i bet theyre modern parts replacement techs, or stand behind the
counter at autozone..
You have a v10 with v8 SMALL BLOCK 350 heads?
Lube is applied when the camshaft is installed. The bearings remain
stationary in the block when the engine is running so no lube is required
when installing.
Great video! You made it look really simple… what shop manual do you own
as I need to purchase one?
Why don’t you just buy a new cam? Instead of wasting ALL your time
installing new bearings! Spend the money on the new cam You’re one of those
people that breaks a pencil in half and uses both sides aren’t you. Stupid.
they are numbered.
That plastic looking cone piece. Is that used for installing these
bearings? If not, how do you know its going in straight?
Yes the plastic cone is what guides the tool so the bearings are installed
straight preventing damage.
it looked like the cam bearings had scratches in them so they are worn and
needing replaced.a new cam wont fix a bearing wear.with a new cam you
should have new bearings so the cam don’t fail.after replacing cam bearings
a few times you learn to do it faster i can have them installed in about 8
mins on a good day.
