Hi, I`m looking for concepts to restore a camshaft with to much wear. From my unexperienced point of view I see three options: 1) Metal-spray and machine the camshaft journals. The bearing ID`s to be machined to match with 0.001" clearance for oil. 2) Machine the bearing ID`s and babbitt them. Machine the camshaft journals to undersize diameter.
The babbitted bearing ID`s to be machined to match with 0.001" clearance for oil. 3) Find modern bearing shells which could be machined into the bearing ID`s and then machine the camshaft journals to match with 0.001" clearance for oil. The job is to search for the right modern bearing which fit most. I`m interesting to learn about your experiences, recommendation and which shop are doing this work
