I have a quick question about the location of the front cam bearing. I measured the placement of the one in my block and the machine shop has installed it too deep. Ford specifies that it be .003 - .005 from the face of the block. I called the machinist to ask him about moving it forward a bit. Of course, he said that it wasn't important as long as the bearing was not extended past the front of the block. How did I know he was going to say that?
Does the .003 to .005 space create a restriction to the amount of oil that goes between the bearing and the face of the thrust bearing? Should I make the machine shop go ahead and move it? I wanted to get a few more opinions other then just the one from the machinist.
Thanks,
