I was there too. Saw you and the rest of the cobras at the car wash site but you were pretty involved in a story and the wife was starving so we hustled by heading to the beachside grill.
Didn't bring the car because I'm getting tired of all the bikes and strollers weaving in and out. I just got it back from the body shop after some careless &@&8@$:! Backed into my nose while talking on her phone. So I'm going to be a little paranoid for a few weeks. The Roush is running stronger than ever since the last rebuild. Figures, I order a new engine and then get this one all sorted out. Maybe I'll keep it as a backup! Should look nice on the coffee table.

Couldn't tell you. I've been using these Dart blocks for years and have always knocked the cam bearings in the same way.
Normally you want the oil feed at the 4:00 location. That's an SAE standard for where you want the oil wedge to support the camshaft in the journal. With the bearing being grooved on the back, the oil will travel around the bearing and will oil wherever there's a hole. Not sure why they put 3 holes in the bearing, but in addition to the 4:00 position, it will oil in 2 more spots. |

Chuck Barnett-was the president of DuraBond. Tell 'em the 'Cobra guy from World sent ya'. May have retired now.

Got the rotating assembly back. Checked main bearing clearances and they were too small for my liking, so I'm ordering a set of "X" bearings.
