I can put them in in a few min....take your cam with you and oil it up stick it in and make sure it turns nice and free before you leave.
Actually Eric Bradby has a trick he uses to install the cam bearings that's very similar to the threaded rod system we use to install the crank hub. It's been a few years since I saw him do it but he made it look easy.

thats only for roller bearings you use that.

He uses the reg. tool for chevrolets......most all his fords get roller bearings, they are pretty cool, but expensive
