tearing my lq4 down for rod bolts and an ls6 cam i find that my cam bearings are worn some...
what do i do replace them or run it?
id like to get one summer out of this motor, how ad is this wear?
the motor has 86K miles on it, had a 150 shot sprayed about 8 times

the ls6 cam im putting in is brand new.. (and brand new timing set)

mmmmmmmm. i'd replace em. they're cheap. you've worn through 2 layers of babbitt material.

Smiliar to a SBC although they are sometime really tricky to get them in perfect. Both motors I have had done it tool the machine shop some extra work to get them perfect and the cam spinnig freely.

i like clevite, but any quality bearing would be fine.

Just make sure you do some research and get them in the correct order, they have different OD bearings from one position to next..
