Ive broke enough of them studs that nowadays I always heat them up with my little MAPP gas torch, smack the end of the stud with a hammer, the two nut them off. Never had a problem since I started doing that.

I ended up turning the cam bearing and blocking the passage there. Then I did the mod from Big Block Dart, drilling the holes through the valley into the oil galleys. I then tapped the deck surface and bought plugs available from the hardware store. I have needle roller rockers and havent fired...

I say no way. You'll never suck the pan dry and overfilling will just beat the oil up. Ive heard that you actually only "need" 4 qts. The 5th is a precaution for production cars so they would still be fine if the masses were to run to the add 1qt line. Also heard of "some" stock class drags cars...

Always liked the Milodon HV. Think they dont make it anymore. Might have to just get the Melling HV, or cough up for the billet.

Rolling road= chassis dyno? 350 flywheel HP.

I agree. If stock hole and pan, stock pickup is fine.

So the bearings fit the block OK, but the crank wont lay down in the bearings? The bearings are too wide? Factory crank right? Is it one bearing or all of them? If You take the bearing outta the block will they fit on the journals?

Sounds like You have the wrong bearings. However, I have freshened My 440 several time over the Years have always used Clevites. The last time I just bought a ring n bearing kit. It came with F-M bearings. They didnt fit at all. Oil grooves didnt line up either and clearances were way off. Dont...

Agree on Permatex.

Thanks everyone. Decided to just buy one. I can do the $130ish ones.

Anyone got a trick way to install cam bearings. Don't really want to haul My motor into town to pop the bearings in, but don't wanna spend $230 on the tool. I have My bros tool but it only fits SBC. Any ideas?

Well that sucks. Cams got .562 lift. Haven't been online much lately. Had not heard anything bad when I bought them a year ago. Anything else from them gotta bad rep?

Thanks Guys. First time using anything from 440 Source. Just learned of the kit and of the other internal method. Like both methods better than My idea.

Would love to oil my rocker shafts from the rear galley holes and get rid of the cam bearing method. Never have seen this done before on stock block and heads. 440/906/solid cam. Seems simple, fitting in one galley hole, other kept for gauge. Simple lines through the VCs and plumb into end...
