OK, for those of you who don't remember, I exploded a piston a few weeks
ago (http://www.home.turbopower.com/~mikew/Spitfire/69Spit_4.htm). I
finally tore everything down and brought the block in to be hot tanked,
magnafluxed and mic'd. The one thing I forgot about was the cam
bearings. The machine shop removed the old ones so I'll have to put new
ones in. Is that something that a person of reasonable mechanical
aptitude can do, or is it something that requires special tools (i.e.
have the shop do it).
On a somewhat related note, anyone happen to know when the Spitfire went
unleaded? If the old head is damaged (it's being magnafluxed now) I'd
just as soon get a 1500 head that already has the unleaded valves.
