Out of a new package,
They are not round, the outside diameter varies between 1.840 to 1.850. The
inside diameter varies from 1.715 to 1.725.
They obviously become round as they are driven into the round bores. Many
years ago I made an installation tool and used a compressible piece of
rubber that holds the bearing as I drive it in.

Subject: [Fot] Wetliner Engine Cam Bearing Install Problems
Having discovered that the cam bearings in this engine were not installed
properly to line up with the bearing plugs, I was considering making my own
tool to pull new bearings into the block.
I have used most of the cam install tools on the market including the Lisle
tool currently available. This has been revised since the last time I used
one. The last time I used one had o-rings to hold the bearings. These work
but I'm considering making a simple tool on the lathe.
Anyways I was thinking about turning some aluminum on the lathe to make a
tool.
Does anyone know the I.D. and O.D. of the TR4 Cam Bearings??
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance Glenn
