So while the son was home on leave after his deployment for his sisters wedding, he had talked me into working on the Chevelle engine since I had a new cam and parts to install it. Also purchased the Holley front drive system, so we checked out this part of it also. We both enjoyed the time in the garage again, and it was good for both of us.
Ended up seeing the cam bearing was a little worn. I had initially thought I was just going to cam swap and run it, but now I am too far into it to not go further. The new job enables me to use the distributor machine shop that I support, so we loaded it in the company truck Sunday and hauled it down there to have it cleaned and checked out for wear.
Based on their findings, going back with rebuild kit with all STD components. That will get ordered next week.
