Re: Need Help Identifying 273 Cam

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Because the line on the Journal is small, Jim thought I could have a 
machine shop polish any raised edges off and put it back in.  I'm 
tempted to try.  I guest worse case, I replace 2 sets of cam bearings, 
and possibly the rod/main bearings a second time.

I plan to refresh the engine.  Not sure on rings yet, but mains and Rods 
dont have a lot of wear, but do have some water mark/slight pitting from 
condensation from the car sitting for so long in the barn.  Thats why 
the cam started to squeal, because the bearings werent 100% smooth anymore.
