I have run them on my car for years without problem.
BTW  The coils off a 97 (and up) Pontiac Bonneville SSEI are hotter than regular coils. Series II L67
 Helps to hot wire the module as well.

General Buick Tech / Re: Cam bearing clocking?

I've been looking at a bunch of old post on all the boards, and have found a bunch of methods. None seem to apply to my particular bearing. (Which I'm now suspecting might have been modified. Instructions say to clock 'the' hole to 3.00 o'clock )
I'll have to ask Norbs what he did to his, but then I might be opening Pandora's box lol.
I did have the TA info but thanks for posting.
I either have to confirm that there is actually two holes in the B-12B bearing, and try to clock it so the drivers side feed hole is covered, or get the correct bearing if it is supposed to have only one hole.

General Buick Tech / Cam bearing clocking?

« on: June 13 2013, 11:16:53 PM »

I have a Stage 1 block and wanted to change out the cam bearing for the new cam. But I noticed that the new cam does not have a groove in it, I picked upt a bearing set that had a groove on the back side.
I  Need some help trying to figure out how to clock this new bearing with the two oil holes. 
Do I clock it to line up with the block holes, or offset it to direct more oil to the mains, or will that not make any difference because it has a backside groove?
 Pics below show what I have
 Thanks
