5.9 stroker build
I didn't take any pictures, but I verified that the cam bearings were installed correctly by running a small diameter welding rod through the cam bearing oiling holes. All good.
I've always been impressed with YT videos and magazine articles that showed the deburring of engine blocks. Now that I have my own build, I borrowed Greg's deburring tool and went to town on the oil return passages in the lifter gallery.
Before:
After:
The grinding creates a small mountain of dust, a lot of which falls onto the cam bearings. I blew out the block with compressed air, but I'll also be power washing the block before assembly and then I'll chase the oiling holes again.
