Need info. Has this ever happend or have you heard of this happening.

Alright was working on installing my new cam in my ls1. The block has brand new bearings in it. We mic'd them and they cam out to BEST we can tell with this mic to be the correct size. BUT while we tried to install my camshaft . (Tick Performance Polluter Cam (24x/24x (.61x"/.61x") 112LSA) The cam bearing journal on the rear of the cam was too large to fit inside of the block. Is it possible the cam was ground wrong? It will FIT if I was to FORCE it in but it wont slide in. So the cam is big but only by a small small ammount. Going to take the stock cam over and see if it will fit in. If it will that narrows it down to HAVING to be the cam correct?

ive never experienced anything like that...

what do u mean

Ok I have the front of the cam in my hands. Sliding the cam into the block rear of the cam first. Trying to insert through the first bearing and the cam wont go through. It hangs up. Like either the cam is too large or the bearing too small. The bearing checked out. Im going to try to put my stock cam in to make sure we arent wrong about it being the cam

We were wrong. Apparently the cam bearings are WRONG. Stock cam wont even fit in there. Sending block off monday to get it fixed. Does anyone have a part number from a few brands to make this jack holes get it right this time around

Let's hope the same guys build your block either. If that's wrong, I wonder what else is?

uhh i have had cam bearing problems in the past...sucks....what year is the block?

Im putting together the block myself. I have checked every part. I figured SURELY no need to check the cam bearing thats idiot proof.... I was wrong there. Every bearing they sent was correct till then. And 99 block

AH gotcha that's right. Well at least you don't have to worry about anything else besides that

Ill make sure the new ones are right before they ever go in the block. Imma bring my cam with me up there and prefit them. Shouldnt take long to get sorted out. Was just really wantin to have that stupid truck going by SAR but looks like there isnt a chance of it now.

dude you have been having the worse of luck, hope you get it all sorted out!!!
