Seems #2 cam bearing is a 'loose' fit in journal ,had to tap it in but could feel it was on the loose side , the old bearing was pretty easy to remove also , had no problems with the bearing spinning , thinking maybe intall with some locktight?

Green stuff works good also. I had #3 turn on me. The new bearing hammer in tight but I used the "goop" on the back just in case.

You should be able to get it anywhere in the world. If not, PM me and I will sent you some.

This is the stuff I have used a few times:
