The Mad Hat Man Well-Known Member LZIR Despatch Agent May 22, 2012 #9 Not been reading owt, but I know that in my yoof, camshaft bearings always used to.
jamesmartin Well-Known Member May 22, 2012 #10 old lr manuals show reaming ,but they then started using sized bearings so no reaming necessary
996TURBO Active Member May 23, 2012 #12 Is there any way to repair that with the engine still in car?
jamesmartin Well-Known Member May 23, 2012 #13 as long as you can get cam out and use a bar with suitable dolly to hold and tap bearing in with oil hole aligned you can do it in situ
