When do you need to replace cam bearings?
In general, camshaft bearings can suffer from overloading, oil starvation, misalignment and contaminated oil. The possible failures are material fatigue, excessive wear, seizure and corrosion. If any one of these things occur, you’ll need to replace the cam bearings. Cam bearings are usually available in a range of basic bearing constructions.
How are cam bearings installed into a block?
Installation of cam bearings into the block must be done carefully to avoid shaving material from the outside diameter of the bearings. This can easily cause a buildup of excess material between the bearing and the block’s bearing bore, which will “squeeze” the bearing, resulting in oil clearance reduction at the bearing inside diameter.
What to do if Cam fit is too tight?
If cam fit is too tight, bearing material can be removed by reaming. Honing bearings to size is not recommended because honing stone grit can easily be trapped in the bearing surface, and its presence can lead to premature camshaft journal wear.
How to remove pressure oiler from engine block?
Carefully remove the pressure oiler’s hose from the engine block (place a rag under the end of the hose to prevent dripping oil onto surfaces as the hose is removed). Reinstall the vehicle’s oil pressure sender to the engine block.
When to replace the gasket on a camlock?

What do you need to know about camlock fittings?
This guide has been created in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the whole range of camlock fittings available, the associated accessories and their uses. It’s aim is to provide you with everything you need to know about selecting the right fitting, understanding application and maintenance. What is a Camlock Fitting?
How often should I Check my camlock coupler?
Coupler You should check frequently whether the signs of wear and corrosion exist on the sealing surfaces of coupler and adaptor. Cam arm and pin Cam arm and pin should also be checked periodically, because cam arm and pin may interfere with the intended operation.
What is the military standard for Cam and groove couplings?
The standard for cam & groove couplings is based on the US military specification Mil-C-27487 now superseded by A-A-59326D. The original specification was replaced by the new standard, but still guaranteed the interchangeability of couplings designed to the same specification.
