Title: Which cam bearings?
Post by: bullnerd on January 17 2016, 10:25:14 AM

Due to reasons Id rather not explain at this time, I need to replace the cam bearings in my engine rebuild. 

I cant remember what I used last time.(Walked away from my car for a few years)

Do I need any thing special for a basically stock engine? I remember reading about a special double groove or hardened front bearing?  Other than clocking the bearing, can I just use stock replacement bearings?

I would probably use these       http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dur-bp-13t (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dur-bp-13t)

So some googling to make sure they are positioned correctly on install
