Finally got the OEM cam out of my 89 vette to install the TPIS Super L98 cam but found cam bearings are looking like crap. I’m pretty sure the rod & main bearings are going to look similar. At 73k miles I’m quite surprised but I bought it at 64k so who knows what caused this. it’s been almost a decade since driven but I don’t recall any oil pressure issues of any kind.
The problem now is what to do moving forward. My plan is to pull the engine out & take a look at the rod & main bearings.
Mine look just like that. I attribute the terrible bearing conditions to the car sitting for many years at a time in high humidity outdoors and then started with no pre-lube. Run good oil and plan for a rebuild in the future.
This Wasn't Expected!
