Camshaft replacement
Hi,
I'm totally new to the engine modification so pardon my newbie questions
So the L69 of my T/A has an Edelbrock 7102 camshaft with the hydraulic lifters that came with it, but I want to put back the original camshaft in.
Do I have to replace the bearings ?
Do I need new lifters ?
Thanks, Bye

Re: Camshaft replacement
Why would you put the original cam back in?
So long as you're careful while removing the cam as to not knick the bearings, they can be reused.
Yes, you'll need new lifters.
