Default Cam bearings

Do most of you just re-use the old bearings when you swapped your cam or did you install new. I would think putting new ones would be a PITA with the engine in the car.

Default Re: Cam bearings (Jay Axson)

In a cam swap it's okay to leave the cam bearing alone.

IN a rebuild they get detroyed by the chemicals when the block is hot tank cleaned.

-I'd leave 'em alone.
