I agree- - - -any press-fit bearing is a "one time only" installation. The mention above of small block V-8 cam bearings getting installed in the wrong hole was something my students would do on occasion. When I closed down my school shop after 30+ years, I had several partial sets of cam bearings in the storeroom with one or two missing. I would never allow them to remove and reinstall a bearing, even if it was in the right hole. Ditto for wrist pin bushings.
