As I wait for my cam bearing order to arrive in a package with other TR3A
engine rebuild parts, I'm wondering about the difficulty of putting them in.
The ones the machine shop removed seem to have a split in them, so they are
compressable. I couldn't remove the originals myself because the fit was
either too tight, or they were simply froze in place, I don't know which.
...So question. I take it I can probably tap in the new bearings with a
length of wood, or even easier?, but how do you line up the oil holes and the
locking bolt holes once the bearings are in place? Are they loose enough to
be twisted around once in?
