Need help, Engine builders come in, need cam bearing part number for L92 block I have an L92 being built into a 416 stroker and the cam keeps getting stuck in it with the aftermarket bearings thats in it.
I need the part number for the correct bearings for my engine. I've heard the bearings are different for each one in the motor.
I don't care whether they are durabond, clevite, or speed pro. i just need the correct damn bearings so I can get my engine done.
I don't know if it something I'm doing wrong or not.

Did you check your bearing clearance?
I ended up with .0005"-.0015" in the three center bearing bores with a Comp cam and Durabond cam bearings. You can have the cam turned for pretty cheap to get the clearance opened up. Others prefer clearancing the cam bearings with a Scotchbrite pad...

Thanks! I'll look that up in a bit.
I don't have the tools to measure it and the engine is by a buddy of mines house and he has the tools to measure it. I figured he had measured it already since he has more time to mess with it that I do, but that will be the first thing I ask him.
Could be a possibility. The cam is a custom grind from Comp but I had Geoff@EPS spec it out.
It came UPS to the house and we all know how careful they are with packages.LOL!

If they are Clevite bearings in it now they WILL be tight(to damn tight), atleast that is what I have experienced with that brand. I only use Dura-Bond now and have never had an issue so far to date.

Over in the mopar world, a common way to clearance tight cam bearings is to take an old cam and hack saw an angled slot in the journals to act as a bearing knife. Install the cam and turn it over several times.
- Not saying this is the best or only way, but it is a way of accomplishing the task.
