so i have a head that is fulley built.. with the camshafts out... and i was looking at a few thnigs was wondering... should i have the cam journals line honed? b4 the camshafts are installed or no?

my head has normal journal weat towards the cam gears, ive searched many of heads and have seen this wear over and over again, and was wondering if it would be good to have the journals micropolished or line honed or what?

 

have the machine shop check it and make sure everyting on it is good

 

yea i dont think its anythnig major or anythnig i have searched and found many of heads have that i just want it to be in perfect condition cos i have aftermarket camshafts to go in the head

 

I've had to have a couple of camshaft bores polished to clean up some scuffing and to deburr some knicks. It's a service that our head porter/performance machinist provides.

If the bores have normal wear, then you don't need to have them polished.
