Hey folks, I have a 1940 Model b that I am rebuilding the engine on and need some expertise. I have new cam bearings installed in the block and when in position the oil holes between the block and cam bearings do not line up. Approximately 1/2 the hole is covered by the bearings at all 3 locations. Is this normal or do I have cam bearings wirh holes that are off location? I assume what is exposed of the oil hole is sufficient for oiling the cam but want to make sure http://s695.photobucket.com/user/sukoshi1986/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">

just run a drill bit in to open up the holes to match the block.
------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| The holes are to oil the main Bearings. They need to be open. |
