the oil holes should be at the 3:00-4:00 o'clock position with the block right side up,that allows the oil to form a support wedge under the cam load, on a sbc but carefully verify that the oil passages align with the oil holes in the bearings

bearings are frequently numbered,#1 to #5
*1 is the front one ,The cam bearings are just slightly different in diameter, so you have to make sure you install them in the correct order.the diam. are listed in the link below if you got them mixed up, Make sure the oil holes are lined up when you put them in.


read thru this link below carefully

QUOTE
CNC BLOCKS N/E"

"We put our cam bearings in at 4 O'clock and we tap our front galley plugs 1/4 inch pipe and use red locktite and snug them up.

We use just a 1/4X18 pipe tap which is a standard tap and it really does not cut a deep thread is why we use the lock tite.

Becareful on the middle plug as you can put the pipe plug in to far and shut the oil off to the front main bearing and number 1 rod bearings. As I have seen that done before."

cam bearings are easily swapped IF you have the correct tools but its generally cheaper to have the local machine shop replace them than to buy the correct tool unless your doing the job fairly regularly.

if you have access to a lathe you can fabricate a tool for your application for under $20 in parts a 36" section of 1/2" thread rod a couple washers and nuts and a custom turned bearing holder made on the lathe will do the job
BTW its comon for the bearings to be differant sizes at differant locations,some are numbered, some may require the oil feed hole location to differ, etc, so measure the bearings,take note of the oil hole locations on the old cam bearing before you remove them, don,t just take one, new one randomly out of the package and start beating it into place
Ive even seen parts from these kits
