So who has replaced their cam bearings...

[Rhedalert]

...successfully with the bottom of the motor still together?

I know LS1's you can get the special tool to do it, but I haven't seen any available for the 660's. Who has done it? I may be changing the cam sooner than later, and even though the engine has under 80k I'd like to think re-using the bearings for cam #3 may not be a great idea. I'm probably going to pull the engine out of the car and deal with a few items at once.

Thanks!

With an expandable end piece, you could probably do it no problem.

If you find a cam bearing replacment tool for a SBC, it will work for the 660. I have a cam bearing tool that my uncle made a few years ago, for use in a SBC, I've used it on a couple 660s now. cam beraings are the same diameter between the SBC and 660.

That's not a bad price.

It's hard to see, but this is similar to what I have:

Mine only has two guides though, one for actually seating the bearing itself, and one to be placed in the bearing opening on either end of the block, to guide the bearing in straight. I'll get a pic of mine for you, if you need.
