Doug, Nasty job. If the ones there are half way workable, leave them alone. Al is right; you need a spcial tool and probably need to haul the block to a machine shop that says they have that special tool.

If you're not hot tanking the block -- and it doesn't have any cracks in the webbing you're fixing for the cam bearings -- and you're not precision honing the cylinders -- leave it be with the old cam bearings. I've replaced alot of cam bearings and wondered why I did it. And left a lot in place and have never seen ill results. In other words -- if it ain't broke really bad, don't fix it. Or -- in the words of the famous engine builder, Wadell Wilson, a loose engine makes more power. Steve
