    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?

    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
