Obviously something is wrong.
Not a typical failure in my opinion.


Well I can tell you this, it is a very typical failure, I have been racing Big Block Mopars for 35 years and when you start pushing the limit of a stock block there are tons of issues. Cam bearing failure is probably the #1 thing wrong with B/RB stock blocks.


Been racing and around Mopars for over 50 years, I can’t remember the last time I saw a cam bearing failure.
Super Stock, Modifed Production, Stockers, even fuel cars.

All using commercially available bearings, with nothing special being done to the bearings or cam.


I agree, been messing with mopars since 1974, lost track of how many cam bearings I have sanded and scraped to get the cam to rotate, knock on wood never had a problem either, or seen an engine fail a cam bearing.
