cam bearing
i am about to put my engine back together, new (crank) bearings, piston rings .
while cleaning the engine i noticed some wear on a cam bearing:
i will use the "old" camshaft , i had it inspected and the mechanic told me the cam is still fine , but would i need new cam bearing or is this not that important ?
thank you

RE: cam bearing
Doesn't look like that big a deal, especially since it's at the top side of the bearing which sees the least amount of load. As long as the journals are around on the came and the cam is straight there shouldn't be an issue. It ran before with the same cam and bearings, right?
