Default Cam bearing problem

I've got a 05' LQ9 engine that got the cam bearings messed up during shipping. After getting two sets from the dealership, I'm finding out that the two outside bearing are a larger size. So the new ones do not fit?

Is there something I'm missing, why would the two outside bearing be larger?

Here are the Clevite part numbers according to their catalog:

First Version (1997 through part of 2003)
Complete set: SH-1814S
Bearings 1 and 5: SH-1814
Bearings 2 and 4: sh-1815
Bearing 3: SH-1816

Second Version (later in 2003 and after)
Complete set: SH-1995S
Bearings 1 and 5: SH-1995
Bearings 2 and 4: sh-1814
Bearing 3: SH-1816

You would have version 2. Most parts parts houses would have these or the equivalent in other brands like Federal-Mogul or King.

Found the part numbers

1 & 5 (front & rear) 12453167
2 & 4 (inner outside two) 12453168
3 (Center) 12453169

Ok, after double checking these (12453167) are the ones I got from the dealership but they are too small.

Does anyone know the size of the cam bearing or cam journal on the block so I can measure one or the other to find out if something is not the right size.
I would have guess that maybe the cam bearing was put into the wrong package but this is the second set that is the same way.


Need some real help here guys!
