So im at the point of installing the new bearings but when i took the others out i didnt remember to note where the holes in the bearings went.

I found on the new bearings number.. it went 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4
so im assuming the 2 and 3's are the same but i dont know where they go.

And where are the holes suppose to line up at?!

Thanks

I do know that the holes line up with the Oil Plumbing Holes in the Cam Journals.

You have yourself a small problem now that you did not mark each cam bearing. The outside diameter is different on each bearing. I beleave the last one is the smallest with 4,3,2,1 by diameter. Also the oil holes should be in the 5 oclock postion

many people told me that they dont line up because you would lose oil pressure

Your new cam bearings should have a # or code on them, then you reference that code with where it tells you to put it. The bearing with 2 holes goes in the front, but off the top of my head I can't remember the other orders.

It doesn't really matter which way the bearing is installed, b/c the oil will travel underneath the bearing in the block through the channel (don't remember tech term) and come out the hole, but I always install mine at 5 o'clock.
