Hi,
In previous posts I mentioned that I'm working on a rebuild of my '46 H engine. I want to get the block hot-tanked/cleaned, but am not ready with parts yet for installation. How difficult is it to install the Camshaft bearings yourself?
Having rebuilt Ford and Chevy engines in the past, I typically have the machine shop install new bearings for me. I don't have them yet though, but still want to get the block cleaned out. Should I just wait until I've got the bearings and have the shop do the work?
When the block is at the shop, will they remove the sleeves? Should I plan on new sleeves? I think a lot of overhaul kits come with new sleeves but the ones that are installed actually look to be in good shape.
thanks in advance,
