New Section: New Solution to Cam and Main Seal Challenges

Have you ever freshly installed cam bearings and after installation the cam would hardly go in let alone turn freely? If you have built more than 25 Pontiac 455's you have had at least one this way. The only fix is then to trim Babbitt with a pocket knife until you've removed the tight spots. I've done this before and it took seven or eight hours of saying, "Why me Lord?"

The equipment in the images below cures this problem without your having to buy boring bar equipment valued at several thousand dollars.

Have you installed a BOP rubber rear main seal and it still leaked? The problem is the bore the seal sits in is not concentric with the main bearing journals. This problem gets worse when main saddles are either align bored and/or align honed. The equipment shown resolves this problem.

Cutting the housing bore for rear main seal to be concentric with main bearing journals so that the seal will not leak. When using a BOP type rubber rear main seal.		Cutter blade inside rear main seal groove so that outer perimeter of groove is concentric with main journals.		Slip collar that tightens to control the stroke of cutter blade.

Boring head that feeds the cutter blade.		Biscuits used for either a 400 or 455 block for boring bar.		Cutter used to true-up cam bearing housing bores. This cutter is a modified cutter to install valve seat rings.

Boring bar drives the cutter and the boring >> see next image.		Bar is centered with removable biscuits. In this case in the #2 and the #5 positions.		Cutter truing up #5 position, which is most often the trouble maker for diameter.

Aluminum biscuits are installed in #1 and #4 positions to bore #5. This aligns the housing bores and true's the outer bore dimensions which often the block has seasoned; these diameters seem to change. After spending days trimming Babbitt out of cam bearings to get a cam to true up I built this equipment and haven't had that problem since.
