cam bearing replacement

If a motor has a spun bearing is it possible to pull the motor and just replace the cam bearings?

Re: cam bearing replacement

I don't think I have ever seen a spun cam bearing. Most bearings that spin are rod or main bearings.

To answer your question, yes, you can pull the engine and replace just the cam bearings. If I pulled an engine, I would look at everything.

Re: cam bearing replacement

Yes do like shoebox said and look at the other bearings too...not to big of a deal to replace them and chances are, since the cam gets the oil first the others may be damage...i may be wrong though.
