Ok guys. I just got done pulling a buddie's motor apart that was a *complete* mess. Cam was wiped, HG on DS was blown on 3 and 5 and 1 was about to go. Cam is wiped down really bad in some places, like I mean almost wiped the lobe off the cam.
Anyways, I was looking at his cam bearings. I noticed the front cam bearing felt like it had a little roughness to it. I thought that was odd so I checked the rest of the bearings in the engine and they all felt nice and smooth.
My question is, does the front cam bearing need replaced? It's not showing copper or anything. I've really never dealt with cam bearings before so I don't know. If it does neeed replaced, how do I pull the old one out and install the new one? Also, how do I know what size to get?
If you need any more info please let me know. I'm going to be posting pics of all his damage soon. Oh and BTW, this was a Jaspers engine. So don't EVER EVER EVER EVER buy one. From what I can tell, the pushrods in this motor look to be .020" too long.
