Engine Tech: How To Install Cam Bearings In Your LS Engine At Home

Our friend Jefferson has started up a new YouTube channel to show off what he’s got going on over at his shop Red Dirt Rodz, and one of the first things he’s sharing is a full-build series for an LS engine he plans to add a bit of boost to. What makes this build series different is that Jefferson is doing several jobs that most people would have their machine shop do, even if they were going to do the final assembly of their own engine.

Things like installing cam bearings, and mounting press-fit pistons and rods. These are services any local machine shop will usually do, but if you have the tools and a bit of know-how you can save yourself a few bucks for sure.

So check it out how LS cam bearings are installed and let us know if it is something you’d try yourself at home. You can let us know in the comments section below.

Video Description:

Jefferson of Red Dirt Rodz shows you how to remove the old bearings and install new ones using a Powerhouse Tools cam installer tool. This video features information about proper bearing orientation, what to look for in assessing your cam bearings, and the entire process of removal and installation.
