One 455, One IA2 rebuild w teflon coated cam bearings, Each time Block went back, cam journals were line honed and NEW bearings installed, no further issues. Needs to be done perfectly so crush is maintained.
Since then i always bring the cam when i drop off the so they can prefit cam, to insure issue free build once i get it home. Time is money both ways.
/\ Exactly.. cam bearings get finish hone..
