im rebuilding my engine, which was a 350 tpi from a 92 camaro, and after putting the crank and pistons in the block i rotated it over and but in the camshaft bearings, well when i went to line bearing #1 i was used to the block being upside down so i installed the bearing upside down. how big of an issue will it be if i leave it? its just a hassle to tap it back out but if its necessary its what ill be doing. i was just wondering if anybody had put it in at a different position than 5 and 7.

 

i would think that if the oil hole dosent line up withe the galley youll spin the bearing
but thats just me

 

thats what i thought, but the 1st bearing has two oil holes and the chevy manual for that year said line the holes up at equal distances from the galley, so i was going to go by that, but i did it backwards.
