    cam bearing questions

    So I had new cam bearings installed in my 302 block- I installed a retro roller cam in it once and now the bearings have little dimples in them from the installation/removal of said cam

    it spun freely like it should but is it safe to run as is? OR should I tear it back down and have new ones put in again?

                      Zack, if you can post to photostream there is no reason you can't upload them to a photobucket or flickr account.

                        forgot my password hahaha but I'll try..

                        I should add the dimples are in the coating not the bearing itself
