I've NEVER had this happen in 30 years of building motors.




i've never had one (bb mopar) that didn't require some attention here. always do the cam bearing one at a time so you can find the offending one(s). you can use a cam core or bearing scraper AKA razor blade to dress the tight spots




Exactly...

It was my understanding that the bores on production blocks were all over the place and the factory actually had a fixture that final honed the bearings true. I build a lot of Chrysler big blocks and its very rare that I dont have some issues with cam fitment. Not a big deal to get it straightened out, but it always needs attention.

One out of four blocks will need work on the cam bearings, install them one at a time and then slide the cam in, fix as needed


Then I've been lucky enough to find the other 75% of them....lol
He hand massaged them last night.....so they're all good now...
Thanks everyone.
