SBC oversize cam bearings
Has anyone found any oversize cam bearings for a sbc ? I have a bowtie block that a previous owner must have align honed the cam tunnel the old cam bearings had a number chp-4-12 tamped on them which when measured was a 2.040 bearing all measure the same all 5. This number corresponds to a set part number of a CHP-8R2 .020 over bearing set could be a CHP-8R2T for coated. Problem is I can't find any, everyone I have checked is out on back order and saying June. Is there any other options other than durabond or any other sources to check?

You can cut a man's tongue from his mouth, but that does not mean he’s a liar, it just shows that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

I thought I looked in the old ACL catalog that I have at the shop and didnt see anything. I dont really think ACL stuff is even available anymore anyway.

Looked in my 2007 ACL book this morning and they are listed in the performance section. I have used some ACL bearings in the past and they were fine.
Looks like there is a guy on E-bay that has them.
