Default Re: Cam Problems

Hi Steve:
Running a grooved cam in a 67 up block is no big deal really. We used to solder the rear cam bearing hole and redrill. Don't ask me the size, very small I remember. It is the bit in the top drawer of my tool box with tape on it LOL. The size is actually given in the how to hot rod BBC book.On the dist I am not sure. I never mixed them. My 66's were l-72's and I always used the 66 TI dist in them so had no issues. I did bake two cams like Ken however before I discovered I had the wrong rear cam bearing.Second one almost cost me the engine.
