Note that having all the bearings perfectly lined up with the oil feed holes coming up from the main web does not guarantee that they are 100% perpendicular to the cam bore which they need to be .

Here’s some info that might help you if you have measuring tools.

The OD of the cam should be 1.8992” - 1.8997”

Bearing wall thickness .644”

Oil clearance .012”- .0037”

All 5 bearings are the same.

These spec’s are out of my Federal Mogul catalog for there part number 1220M bearing set .

For a SH292S TRW / Speed Pro bearing set there oil clearance range goes from .001” to .006” .

There max length of the bearing is .690”

Wall thickness is near the same at .643”

Do you have any of the old cam bearings?
If so do they load on to your new cam?

Once you get this resolved another point to keep in mind that folks mess up on is using too long of a Valley pan cover bolt.

These two holes go right down into the cam Tunnel and if these two bolts are too long you can badly pinch in these two cam bearings.
