I watched the first 5 minutes of this cringing that you didn't mention the oil port hole alignment. lol Was so relieved when you mentioned it. It was like watching a cliffhanger movie.
I believe thats the same on the buicks to I built a 455 and 350 buick all same size bearing enjoying the build dont get to see to many bpo engine builds. thanks for the video
You didnt show installing the #1 or #5 bearing...I installed #5 first, knocked them out front to rear, and your cam seems too tight, I can see it dragging. I used Lucas assembly lube. Did you have any problems with that tight cam. Did you mention that is a Lisle 18000 tool.
I have a little video with my other project idk whick one it is but im building a 69 skylark after the mustang i built a buick 350 first than raced it with a 455 so ive really been watching your 455 build they are really good engines
What bearings are those?? I'm asking cause I just installed a set on my Pontiac 350 and the cam won't go in any of the journals. There a set of p-4 durabond from napa
Usually if the cam won’t go through it’s due to improper installation of the bearings. Tri metal bearings are harder and easier to get in without cocking and deforming the bearings
Did you drive the rear bearing in from the front or rear? I drove my 400 rear bearing in from the front and it chowed the outer bearing surface and squeezed down the bearing. Im wondering if I should drive it in from the rear to the front.
I see it now - "Crankshaft"..... What the Hell am I saying LOL!!!! If you watch my earlier video on "camshaft fail" you might understand how frustrated I was at this point!!! Thanks Dude!!
THANKS !!
ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW THE PROCEDURE !! 😊
HAD A GOOD IDEA BUT HAD TO SEE IT MYSELF !!
THANKS AGAIN !! 😁

Thats one of the Skydive Chicago jumpships. Love those things. Pt6 sound is the best.
Putting the main caps on to tourqe will help cam go in a touch easier
I'm with you there, BOP's are really hard to get info on! Part of the reason I'm doing this series.
Thank you.
Glad you got it done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish you would have shown putting in the last bearing in front as that is my issue now. Thanks for the post.
You just put it in from the other side.
Very Interesting. Thanks for the Video AL

Drove it in from the front.

Haha! Make sure you got a lot of oil on that crankshaft when you put it in...
Yeah, you mix bearings there and you're screwed!!
He's using regular oil on the cam for installation, not good. You need to use something thicker like gear oil to avoid scratching the bearings.
turned a 3 minute video into a 20 min video
Reaper Too many ah, um, ah, and ah, um, ah. Needs to write a script first.
