Pin Cam Bearings with ONLY Hand Tools AT HOME! Manual Machine Shop | Brand Racing Engines 

Have you checked the inside diameter of the bearings after the compound sets up?

it goes on the outside not the inside of the bearing @@aaronward3882

My Engine has 300,000 miles. It's definitely do for some cam bearings. I wonder if it will make it another 300,000 without this trick? Hell I probably won't last another 300,000. I let the next guy worry about it 😁

He is right loctite them in all my burnout engines are the same never spun a bearing

Your a lucky man. Ive seen countless ls cam bearings spun. Still dont know why. Other than run low on oil or over revved with just 6 qts.

He's not lucky. You have a lot of (all of ) the unlucky customers. But looks like you got it covered. The reason why you don't see anybody else do this, and the reason you don't understand why are one in the same. 👍

Thanks # 3 80 % of the time

Hey what part of the country u located at? In Philly lots of machines shop r out of business as well

Why do these spin cam bearings? Especially the 6.0

It's not a big deal to do.

​@@BrandRacingEnginesI think this sums up among other reasons why we watch. Thank you

thank you, appreciate it!

Just more voodoo

Thanks

LOL

No have had no problems with pining

Yes Didn't like the results

No

A split cam bearing

Always replace with a 1-piece cam bearing

THANKS

@@BrandRacingEngines Thanks Mr Brand iam 60 yrs old and have owned a Automotive Repair shop for 37 yrs , i have a couple 64 Novas one pro street and the other is still stock chassis both have 434 SBC strokers and it blows me away back when i cruised out of high school a 400hp engine was the rage today if your not showing up with a 800 -1000 hp your not going very far... I have great respect for You and all the old school mentors i have been blessed to learn from , High school Auto shop and Machine shop were so much of what you put on your content which proves corp owned Race engine shops may not treat every engine like a person like you that said have been a fan of Damon since i learned he was running Matt's Big 9 set up combined with your skill set that BBC made 51 runs , Damon released a vid Thursday while pulling the engine hoping it did not Window the block or mess the crank up beyhond repair, would love to see you show the repairs or rebuild its to me so impressive that a small home town machine shop and engine builder has built a engine combo that is beating up on engines that cost 3-4 times a BBC . Again thank you for all the educational Vids on Engine machine processes. Sound like Damon will be sticking to replacing the Aluim Rods on a maint basis from now on..Fred

You Can Pin Alum or cast all the billet hemi blocks are pin similar way

Yes

Pining the main will not fix the problem. What running off the end of the crank.

@@BrandRacingEngines Can you explain why it wouldn’t fix the problem?

@@HeadFlowInc If the housing bore is right the bearing has enough crush to keep it from spinning. The bearing tangs are to locate the bearing. Alum. rod have a pin to locate the bearing not to keep it from spinning. If a bearing spins its the crank is getting against the bearing. Hope that helps.

I hear another tips and tricks video

He’s basically saying the crank is grabbing the bearing (clearances)

I made the cam bearing install tool but you can by one from duraboud cam bearing manufacturer Thanks

I'm mainly do it to eliminate. The aluminum blocks
