I got a phone call from a friend last night...
He broke the 440 he had in a 71 A Body...found a transplant and is installing a new cam in this motor before putting it back in the car.
The motor he bought was a lower mileage 440 (about 1974 vintage)...
When he removed the old cam one of the cam bearings has a small piece about the size of pencil eraser missing at the edge.
General consensus has been to maybe just leave it alone...

Anyone had anything similar over the years?

Affordable machine shops around here are pretty much non existent...he checked into buying the tool to install new cam bearings but it was a little pricey and he would most likely only be using it once...

Any thoughts?

Sorry no pic available...car is mainly just a w/e driver...no real track time...


...FAFO...
