cam bearings look worn, but online, many folks said the copper is normal, the second from the front bearing has some grroving, as does that support lobe.






thoughts?

Those look a little more worn than normal.

I would replace.

Is that the stock cam? are you doing a cam swap?

If that specific cam is going back into the motor I would send it to a cam grinder to have it checked for straightness and the journals polished.

It is stock. Dod lifter failure. Yes I am reusing it, as a lamp! I have a pat g spec'd 222/226 going in.

Well, motor is being pulled and disassembled. Not sure how far I'll go, but at minimum I'll do all new bearings, polish crank and arp goodies.

What other mods are you throwing at it beside the cam and ported heads?

Not 100% sure. May go forged. Doubt I'll stroke. Trying to stay on a reasonable budget.

that looks similar to how mine appeared. Buttoned it back up and kept truckin.

Some have stated they did the same, but I have horrible luck. I am doing forged pistons. Brian Tooley said I'd be fine with rods and crank since I'm not looking for big numbers, plus I'll do some spray later on.
