I recently started to rebuild my 1952 ford 8n, starting with the engine. This is my first rebuild of any kind but i pick up on mechanicals very fast. I know that these engines did not come from the factory with cam bearings inside but mine does have them so it must have been line bored at on time. The bearins they used are solid steel, which i have pulled from the motor for inspection. I have a brand new cam going into this motor and don"t want to ruin it, nor do i want to have low oil pressure because i did not put new cam bearings in when i rebuilt the motor. I am replacing just about everything in the motor so it would be a shame not to replace these as well. I believe the specification for the maximum clearence is .005" and i have more than that if i was to reuse the old steel bearings. They measure roughly .008 to .01 over the cam journals. If anyone has any knowledge of what to do or where to acquire cam bearings for these motors it would be greatly appreciated! Any information would be helpful!

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
