I went to the shop today to work on my engine so that I save some cash....well we got the whole engine assembeled(heads, cam, valvetrain, lower intake) and we realized the cam could shift back......we looked at an exploded view of the cam and saw that the back bearing has a second bearing right behind it to keep the cam from walking.....well we realized the machine shop sent the engine back with only 4 bearings (missing the one in bewteen the freeze cap and the last cam bearing) ....we had to disassemble the whole engine again to get the cam out and tap the freeze cap out (ready to KILL someone).....does anyone know the part number for this bearing? Thanks.....I am ready to kill someone in case I didnt already say.........f****** machine shop

Hmmm, sorry I don't know a part number but I'd flip if someone did that to me. I'd call the machine shop back up and have them replace it.
