You really need a special tool to install cam bearings. It is worth the money to take it to a machine shop and have them do it. Depending on the block, you might have them hot dip it, scuff the cylinders and check the crank. It is money well spent!

The tool costs more than getting a machine shop to do it. Mine is doing mine and I always like to work on my engine.
