Getting ready to change cams in a 103. In the service manual it says to measure the depth the bearings are pressed into the case. Is that really necessary? Haven't seen it mentioned in the two videos I watched. I have installed cams in two 88's but this is my first time on a late model. Thanks.

 

What does it hurt to spend the extra 30 seconds to measure it and put the new bearings in at the same depth?

 

as long as their under proud,your fine

 

Thanks. I didn't want to have to take the install tool apart numerous times to get to a specific depth.

 

install tool put's them to right depth

 

I tapped mine in with a seal driver until they were sat in.

 

You'll see the beveled edge of the case once you get it apart. If I recall, the bearings go in just past flush to the bottom of the beveled edge. Just tap it in until it's in that spot. It is fine!

 

Damn. I should have thought of that Chief. Pretty obvious now that I think about it. Cheers.

 

yup! I use a piece of delrin (plastic) to tap the bearings in,you can get it from McMaster carr.just machine the end to loosly fit in the bearing.remember to always install with bearing #`s facing out
