Response to 430 Cam's / Bearings
 

"Why the hell Ford decided to change the diameter of the bore in the block was a real mistery. Why didn't they just change the inside diamter of each bearing..."

I understand now why the bearing kit is shown graduated in size and the cam journals are not. The actual bores were different sizes and not the bearings.

I wish someone could explain the purpose/rationalization of this. So, the block casting was changed in 1961 to accept a graduated camshaft journal size?

The only tearing down of a MEL I have done is on paper.

Don't leave this forum as you are a plethora of info... :)
