I Need some Info.
Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2014 10:09 pm
Is there anyone out there that may have a 2.9L Block lying about. I need to find some information on 2.9L Cam bearing journals. I would love a couple of photos shat showed the cam bearing removed from a block.
Ya see I may have missed a bad move on the previous owner side when it came to cam bearings on my engine. I was looking at the #2 Cam bearing journal today and noticed the oil hole in that bearing did not line up with a hole or slot. There is some mention in the ford technical manuals of some cam bearing differences in production. There were some cam bearings that had slots in the back of the bearing that did not require the hole alignment. There were also mentions of the block having a groove in the journal. I am confused to say the least.
I would love to look at the journals on a 2.9L with the cam bearings removed so if anyone has a naked block snap a couple a pictures of the cam bore journals if you can Let me know what you see.
