Thanks very much for the help Marv

I kind of thought we might have to do one journal at a time, but I've not had to do this before. I Just wanted to be sure there wasn't an easier way to do it. But like you said if it was easy everyone would be doing it.

The cam's not really that big IMO......just .520/.540 We went with the Scat 5.7 "stroker rods" so I was hoping for no interference, but oh well that's part of building a performance engine.

That's encouraging about the weight issue. I don't think we'll have to take very much off, so we might be good to go.
