hugh Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Assuming this engine has a camshaft that runs directly in the head,you cannot fit the bearings from the earlier engine as they are designed to fit a good standard size journal hole not one that is oversize, probably oval and knackered, it will just drop in rotate and let oil flow past the back of the journal, I have seen this many times on the 4 cyl engines and a few 6's as well, as the engines become ever older its becoming ever more common and I have to agree the block is scrap unless its line bored oversize and new standard size inserts made up to fit all the journals and shrunk in to stop movement, if this is done ( talking 4 figures ) you could fit the earlier smaller journal camshaft and a bearing set As said earlier beware to any one purchasing an engine to reverb that has the camshaft running directly in the block, bear in mind the 1500 spit is really bad news for this Hugh ex spit and tr7 reg sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
