@niles.lee: Fixing a bad camshaft! I just picked up this 1968 Chevy El Camino with a 496 big block Chevy under the hood! But got it for a decent deal considering the cam had wiped a lobe! So checkout how much you have to disassemble to get a new cam in here! #hotrod #restoration #engines #chevy #carmechanictiktokcontest
Please don’t take this as a how to. That engine still has metal in the bearings. It will have a short life. The correct way is to pull the engine and replace all the bearings and inspect cylinder walls and rings etc.
