Rb20Det Cam Bearings?

[Greg_r32]

Installing new cam shafts and I've been told that I should replace my Cam Bearings.

Having said that, struggling to find anywhere that I can get replacement bearings.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Ask whoever it was that told you that you need to replace them to supply you some.

No such thing in these heads, the aluminum head and the cam caps are the bearing journals.......not like your typical buick 3.8 v6 (boat anchor)

Measure the journals and check for wear, if in spec drop in new cams, if not get a replacement head or get the caps journals re-bored....

LolZ, what Matt said!!!

lol @ cam bearings

In simple english, RB engines dont have cam bearings.

The head and the cam journal caps act as the bearings. If they are worn out you will need to have the journals tunnel bored and may even be looking at a new head.

Ahh ok.

Yeah, think I'm having second thought about using the family mechanic.

I'm a Skyline n00b fresh to RB engines.

How do I tell if the journals are worn or not?

The journal and cap surfaces should be smooth and have a nice finish, if they all look like that then you're doing ok.

Cheers guys, appreciate the help.

ask them to buy some striped paint and a pack of left handed screwdrivers too. they'll need them to install the cam bearings.

Might as well get a long weight while you're there.

forgot to add you must also top up the halogen headlight fluid when you do cam bearings and also replace the engines earth with some fresh stuff from a nursery. any potting mix will do to give it a really good earth.'

ok, I'll stop now. sorry. i don't get out much. this is my only entertainment.
