RuffXf 5 Posted August 14, 2021 Gday folks just got my crossflow block from the machine shop and I had them put the cam bearings in while it was there. When looking it over today I noticed the front bearing had two oil gallery holes in it, one lining up with the hole leading to the crank, the other faces the top of the block and does not line up with anything Have they put it in wrong or have I just got a strange bearing? 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably bearing suits another purpose with 2 oil galley holes.No biggy, but I'd check with them first.Sent from my S21 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 6,641 Posted August 14, 2021 Pre crossflow use the same cam bearings as xflow, its an extra hole for the pre xflow to oil the rockers as they have an extra oil gallery to supply oil to the head and rocker shaft, that gallery gets supplied from the top of the cam journals, whereas xflow use the lifters and pushrods to supply the rockers with oil, its no real biggie just interchangeable bearings 7 Outback Jack, RuffXf, 2redrovers and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RuffXf 5 Posted August 15, 2021 Thanks fellas, still learning the finer details of these engines. Only real concern was a blocked oil gallery, but there ya go. Ford again sticking with what they knew worked 2 deankxf and Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
