🔧 Allstar ALL96470 Engine Cam Bearing Installation Tool: Smooth and Efficient Installation Guaranteed Review

Saw a few of these at different prices but took a chance based on some reviews. Received it, there were no instructions or anything, assembled it and knocked out my first bearing in about 5 minutes. Passed all 5 with no problems, highly recommend for removing cam bearings from SBC GEN1. Haven't installed any new bearings yet, but will update as soon as I do.

The rubber ring will thank you and still hold you tight enough. Make sure the surface is free of dirt, grime, or shavings after each bearing…

I used this tool on a Chevy 4.3L V6 with a T before the serial number. With the bearings in the middle, only one side is straight where you would put the bearings. This is the side they have to go in or they won't hit straight. I rushed to use the tool and did not test it. The end of the tool that goes into the bearing had some sort of sharp edge. If you don't level the tool, the sharp edge will scratch the bearing and leave marks. The tag doesn't damage the bering but I don't like it and I…
