It's not uncommon to get a cam bearing installed a little crooked and be unable to get the cam back in the block. I have a cam bearing driver that uses the full length of the block to assure the bearings go in straight, but I trashed several bearing sets before I bit the bullet and got the right tool. Don't assume the cam is bent unless you set it up between centers in a lathe and confirm the runout with a dial indicator. Jerry
