Subject: Re: Camshaft bearing problem
Hi,
Very late reply but have only just noticed this post.
The grove usually goes at the bottom of the bearing and is there to allow the oil level to equalize in all the galleries and therefore equally lubricate all bearings, Generally the bearings are held in place with a small drilling in their side to locate the end of the locating bolt. (as Hans says, just to locate and not to lock)
I don't think there will be any problem with your method Hans, as long as the oil level stays high enough and or the relevant galleries are kept full by the oil draining from the rocker boxes.
Regards,
Julian
