    on cam bearing s there is guys that do this every day on here .i like to take out cam bearings on all blocks not just small blocks as the housing bore is fully grooved and there is no way to clean that out and the bearings can kill the caustic in most hot tanks they have to come out first thing that must be done if you forget $$$$ the cost of HAZ wast is over $500 a fifty gallon drum and 5 of caustic $125 so it could cost $1250.+ most guys do not forget to take them out yep machines shop s have hot tanks and you want it clean cam bearings are coming out.... another thing i may add the cost of putting cam bearings in is not much at a shop .buy the tool and drive them in it is not hard ? well there more to it then that . a hell of alot more to it .any one thinking any thing else has never done any machine work. ROCKER ARMS you can lay it out like you want on paper ? and get close . but every make rockers are not the same roller tip s are bigger and some makes are smaller roller tips . push rod cup can be bit off .that why i check push rods at mild lift i do them this way on every engine with roller rocker arms
