I use Moly Lube too building engines.
But Use the Moly from Isky Cams.
Use Clevite Bearing guard on main and rod bearings.
What I do different from Grumpy.
No issues ever.
 
Yep

Hopefully it is as easy to use as I hope it is....
Camshaft is still in the US...( export facility....)
 
Wants some Cam Manager files and Port Flow files? I have 30 CM files and 20 PF files.

Not sure what I'm talking about, then open DS5 and click on the the white button for "Port Flow" and "CamManager".
 
Captains log.
None of the shells fit...
Back to the drawing board and grounding to -0.010 ( mains) and-0.020 journals.
Oh great joy ..

Always good to measure with Micrometers the crank journals beforehand.
And use a Bearing micrometer to check bearing shell thickness.
You can buy the snap om magnetic ball anvil for your 0-1 inch micrometer seperate.
What I did.
 
We have measured them at least 10 times...
Seems the book/ manual we have has the wrong dimensions in it....
Ordered new shells and will have the whole thing ground.
 
this whole web site is designed as a reference resource.
yes youll need to use that resource by reading links and sub-links but the info you need is available and yes ask questions if you need too.
