Thank you Strife. I ordered the fittings yesterday and should get them Thursday or Friday. I plan to replace both sides.
Your comment on bearing installation is doubly appreciated, it makes me even more aprehensive of going that way. I guess I will do it if I have to.
The cam is spinning freely now, my concern is future lubrication. I am trying to figure out a way of checking it before the car goes on the road. I am assuming that if lubrication is OK when rotating with the starter, there is a good chance it will be OK with the engine on, is that reasonable?.
Does anybody know how big of a mess it is to run the engine with the covers off?
