Got the block cleaned and did the honing today. On closer inspection I saw that one of my cam bearings was gouged pretty bad. I've never had to replace cam bearings before, and a lot of the tools are fairly expensive starting around 120, so maybe more cost efficient to have the machine shop R&R the cam bearings for me
If you have a shop do it (smart move) take your cam so they can trial fit it after they install the cam bearing. Big block MOPAR and small block Fords are the hardest out there to get in and NOT get a tight bearing.
