There is no cheap way to do things right and have the outcome you want. Lots of guys turn there own out on a lathe. But I guess if you had a lathe you wouldn't be looking for a economy cam bearing tool.

I knew I should have built a bunch way back when I was on my buddies lathe..... lol


I did take it to a next level and made mine do double duty. It has a tit on the end (giggty) that will drive freeze plugs too.

I could have several made if anyone wants to do a group purchase.

What kind of $ figure are you thinking? Will it have the built in freeze plug driver as a bonus like the earl original?
TIA

If someone wants to make a blueprint it will be a lot cheaper . If I have to figure it all out it will be a lot more. Is have to run it by my machinist.

I've got a print around here somewhere. Next time I'm cleaning I'll see if I can find the side of a miller lite box with scribblings on it

The first motor I rebuilt was in the late 60's. I took an old baseball
bat, turned it down to the size I needed to hold the bearings and beat
'em in with the sledge hammer! Crude, but it worked. I bought a Lisle
#18000 cam bearing driver to do the the next rebuild. There wasn't
much left to the bat after the first motor job!
