cam bearing 2nd opinion
Was told the intake can bearing would be OK it has a small crack that does catch the finger nail. What do you think?

I'd double check the cam to journal clearance also. I dont know how media blasting machined surfaces could affect the mating surfaces of the cam caps clearance wise.

I really don't understand your Question... Are you asking what we think about the Journal? It looks fine. RUn your finger over it, if you don't feel indentations you're good..

If your really concerned you could very very carefully blend out the crack in a downward only direction to remove it and keep it from spreading. But it is so small, I kinda think you would be ok as well. I'm no expert either.

There's is a very small crack forming at the edge of the hole. I had to zoom in to see it.

I personally don't see a crack... do you mean the journal or next to the cam cap hole? I noticed you mentioned hole. the journal looks fine. If there is a crack at the cam cap mount hole you should be fine just don't over tighten any bolts torque them to spec and be done with it.

Re: cam bearing 2nd opinion
Is it ok to media blast the machined mating surfaces of the cam caps like that? I would think it could affect the clearance in some way.
