Cam Bearing Questions i bought cam bearings for the 6L motor that i'm building and when i got the bearings they had a couple rough spots around the edges, like burrs or something around the outside edges. the surface in the middle of the bearings was smooth, should i be worried about those burrs?
also, out of the old motor the cam bearings were worn on the 2 outside bearings, they just felt gritty. the cam journals still feel smooth and look alright, is it ok to reuse the cam in something else?
thanks for the input!

i ended up sending the cam bearings back. when i looked at it alittle closer it looked like those rough spots would affect the camshaft.
is the old camshaft useable even though its bearings were worn out?
