madmax2 Dec 2nd, 03, 11:15 PM Hi! somebody could give me pics or draws of the chevy sb oil system? I have doubts about the camshaft bearings. Thanks. CNC BLOCKS N/E Dec 3rd, 03, 12:05 AM MADMAX2 MOST CHEVY SMALL BLOCKS HAVE A FULL GROOVE IN BACK OF THE CAM BEARINGS. WITH THE BLOCK UP SIDE DOWN I USEALLY INSTALL CAM BEARINGS WITH OIL HOLE AT 10 O'CLOCK ON BEARINGS 2,3,4,5 AND NO 1 CAM BEARING I TRY TO LINE THE OIL HOLE IN THE CAM BEARING WITH THE OIL HOLE THAT GOES FROM THE HOUSING BORE TO THE MAIN AND THATS NOT REAL CRITICAL AS THERE IS A FULL GROOVE IN BACK OF THE BEARING. AND ON SPLIT BEARINGS THE SPLIT SHOULD BE OPPISITE OF THE THRUST SIDE. ON BOW-TIES BLOCKS WITH PRIORITY OILING 2,3,4, CAM BEARINGS MUST LINE UP WITH HOLE IN THE CAM JOURNAL graemlins/thumbsup.gif RussD Dec 3rd, 03, 2:48 AM Carl, Good information, and welcome to team chevelle!
