"Blank" cam bearings for aftermarket blocks...
« on: September 30, 2025, 03:22:11 PM »
Mainly making these for Pond/BBM blocks for a SOHC configuration.  No holes.  Can also be used to block off oil at the cam so that you can pressurize the oiling system before you start building (check for drill throughs, cracks, etc.)

Let me know if there is any interest.

I'd be up for some of those, maybe five or six of them.

Interesting idea for pressuring the oil system. I'll be watching for pricing

I just got around to doing this.  Gonna make sure that they fit well in the block, then I'll circle back around to you guys.

Bearings fit perfect.  Been trying to shop pricing across various shops.  Looks like the best I'm gonna be able to do is $21 per individual bearing.  Not sure if that's worth it to anyone but I'll need to order 50 to get it at that price.

Great, that's 33. 

I'd get the rest and keep them, but I don't anticipate them being a big seller.
