going to rebuild a spare engine and decided a whole set of bearings is a good idea.

so, having read the manual and unable to find the tool they use, i am at a loss of how to replace them.

any ideas?

You sure they need replacing - I was advised by a well known expert not to bother - Roy will no doubt explain later

Which engine is it? The 948 only had a front camshaft bearing, the others were directly in the block. The 1098 had 3 'proper' bearings. Unless they are visibly very worn, you will usually be ok.

Probably best to take to an engine builder - it's not a big job, but does need specialist tools to do it properly.

MED in Leicester or Peter Burgess in Alfreton would be able to help, I'm sure.

It will be an expensive business! Unless the engine has been ground to a complete seized-up halt through lack of oil flow - the cam bearings will be fine. They are 'never' normally renewed at rebuilds.
