Most of the new parts sellers have them, they are currently made. I have a set I don't need now.

this is what i do; Install .010" undersize cam bearings. Measure the installed dia of each bearing. As a reground cam is ground between centres, I put the camshaft between the same centres and grind the journals to suit the installed bearings. Do not assume that .010" bearings, when installed will measure exactly .010 u/s! Doing it this way ensures perfect concentricity of the camshaft journals and lobes, also, I am assured the correct clearances are in place, with no resultant loss of oil pressure through sloppy clearances.

I had Dave Generous grind my L-100. The only usable core I had at the time was worn undersize and needed the journals ground. Dave said he couldn't do it on his grinder, he wanted me to send it elsewhere first to have that done before he ground the lobes. That's when I bought this set of .010 bearings. I found a the cores I have in parts engines since then while looking for a good block.
