So in reassembling my engine, I noticed that my front cam bearing has the oil holes at 7 and 11 o'clock. If memory serves, this is 180 degrees out of where they should be, correct? The rest of them appear to be right. I just got done installing the crank, rods, and pistons - but the rods have not been torqued yet.

Is it possible to pull and replace the front cam bearing without removing the crank?

The front cam bearing should be easy to redo without disturbing anything else. 10 and 2 is what the Rebuilding the LT1 book says, but there is a little leeway in that. The 5 to 8:30 area should be avoided.
