Hi Larry, after doing a bunch of these Flatheads I have to admit I've never had a single cam brg issue, ever??
We use only the Durabond line and we have them "Teflon" coated by Calico when the customer requires the coatings. We've been using this procedure since the coatings began. We like it due to the fact most cam-to-journal clearances on this platform are generally on the loose side, hence the coating!
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. I would strongly recommend getting an accurate size on all 3 cam tunnel holes, this is a starting point! The holes should be 1.928" +/- .0005"! Also double check the cam journals, they should be between 1.796"/1.797".
