I picked up my engine block from the machine shop this afternoon. I got it home and was checking it out and observed the cam bearings are trashed. It appears that during installation the tool they used damaged them BAD! It is hard for me to believe that a shop would actually let this out the door. Everything else looks fine, but I guess I will be off to another shop.
Can someone please advise me how the bearings are clocked in relation to the block? I want to make sure whoever I take it to gets it right.
A couple of pics for your viewing pleasure. The grove at the bottom of the #1 bearing is actually quite deep even though the pic does not show it. I did stick the cam in it just for grins so some of the scuffing did come from that, but not much at all. It was a pretty f***** up job! The cam, as you can imagine, did not rotate freely at all.
