Installing a new front cam bearing

[shocker998md]

Are there any tips or things I need to do or be concerned with when I replace my front cam bearing? I've got the factory bearing in my block, I plan on removing the old one and installing a new one just like the old one was installed.

I like using the grooved TA cam bearing, then you don't have to worry about lining up the oil holes or doing any offseting of holes to improve oil pressure. You just need to make sure the grooves are in the center of the oil feed hole in the block.

There duration bonds, made by melling. Two holes in them and no grove.

I have an earl browns front cover if makes a difference. Aside from that all stock internally.

Are you replacing all the cam bearings or just the front?
