Cam bearing installation

Mike,

Not sure what you mean by "production environment" ?? I have the BHJ tool but usually grab my good old K-line most of the time. I got the BHJ in a trade with a customer and it works nice but to be honest with you it is slow and I cant say that it does any better of a job than the K-line with a big hammer.

The other thing with the BHJ is that you have to buy or make different mandrels for each bearing size. I made a couple for the late model Hemis and the LS with the big front bearing.

After having it for a while now I would probably not recommend it for everyday use. I rarely use it and I probably do 3 sets of bearings a week ?

Just my opinion,
