Cam bearings are pretty easy to install if you have a cam bearing removal/install tool available to you. I'm sure you can find a YouTube video that shows the process.

Yea I just looked it up. Seems easy enough but for the cost of the tool I might as well have them professionally replaced. Only issue is moving the block again.

I used a home made tool if you are invested in how I did it

Was it pretty simple to use? What was it made of?

Be careful of the idea of a quickie, when it comes to cam bearings. I made the mistake of inserting new cam bearings n not checking the fitment with the block. 500 miles later, WHOOPS, spun the bearing on an acceleration run. In the immortal words of yoda, the grammatically challenged repairman. Once again pull that engine you will, updated and hard learned will your experience be! YES!!!

Yep! I used a levee of all thread and a rubber expanding freeze plug. Worked like a charm. I got the idea off of YouTube
