Hello all,

My number 4 cam journal measures 2.0364, roughly .005 over. It is also concentric +/- .0001. The original GM bearings fit when I knocked them out. Wish I would have saved them to measure, but didn’t think anything of it at the time. The bore looks like all the rest other thin different ID’s. It also doesn’t appear the bearing had spun.

All the other bores checked out ok.

I haven’t been able to find a partial or full set of P4R1 Durabond +.010 OD bearings. I want to use the block as its number's matching to the car.

The new bearings (P4 Durabonds) are a slip fit in the bore for #4. The new bearings OD’s all measure within spec for new bearings.

I just don’t feel fuzzy about Bearing Retaining Loctite.

Have read about nickel plating the bearings to increase OD. This may be my only hope other than figuring out how to bore #4 in the block and sleeve the hole.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,
Any help is appreciated.
