I recieven the New main bearings And these are good. Now I have a big problem with the camshaft bearings.

I do not know wich one to order. I have orderd the original in aec3046. The small one in the left side is way to big And the largest one is too small. Is there An camshaft bearing expert Here? Because I have git one that is too small so i can not give the bearings to the machine shop.

After a while i started working on the engine again. 

Found the right camshaft bearings and started building.

 

As so far, the crankshaft, camshaft, new pistons +020 and the distribution chain are all in spec.

Did some further progress on the engine and then I realised this night that it would be possible to misplaced the flywheel with 180 degrees. 
So I will have to check with cilinder nr 1 if it is on the right position this evening.

The slot in the flywheel and crank are offset so it should be obvious when trying to fit the stepped washer.Steve..

Seem like I mounted it the right way on.

at this time I came to the realisation that I really do not like to do bodywork  :proud:
