35. Camshaft Bearing
Removal and Installation
Babbitt type camshaft bearings are used on all
1963 engines. These bearings are precision line-
bored at the factory, prior to assembly of an en-
gine, and seldom need replacing.
Whenever camshaft has been removed from en-
gine for inspection, these bearings should be
visually inspected in their bores for excessive
wear. If excessive wear is evident, all five bear-
ings should be replaced. A precision pre-ma-
chined camshaft bearing, interchangeable bore to
bore, is available for field replacement.
