ok i've been reading lots of "i spun bearings after heads/cam install" posts at various message boards. i have a crane 227 cam im planning on installing (probably near the end of winter) im not doing the heads though, there staying stock. i also know some have had success just stabbing in a cam and drivin the piss out of it. im not a big fan of gambling so i want the chances of me spinning a bearing cut down to a minimum.
should i just yank the motor and do all the bearings and install the cam and oil pump on a stand? keep in mind this is a b-body and its not such a pain to yank the motor out like the f-body's. i would just rather play it safe and invest money in keeping this motor healthy, then invest in a new shortblock in the near future. am i going overboard?
motor has 63k on it currently, i will be doing all of the work
