Oh NO!! not another small block build

Ok the moment came when I realized this engine is in dire need of a rebuild.

Check out the cam bearing. WOW!!!! how the hell isn't this cam destroyed?!?!?!?!

I think this engine was cam slapped without changing the cam bearings ...ever

probably the original cam bearings. This shows me why it is Rani policy to change cam bearing on all engines built in my shop.

Look at the back of the bearings for a date code....
