I am looking for a machine shop or somebody that knows how to install cam bearings in a 94 LT1 and how much would it cost?

I'd do it myself but I don't have the tools to do it and I'm looking for a quick turn around time.

Just rent cam tool Josh. Its simple install. Just gotta make sure the oil holes line up as you install them. And you need to start from back to front.

Lining up the holes is the hardest, also not knicking up the ends. Back to front. Some sets are not marked or if you get them in a box from a place make sure they are in the right order. I didnt check once and I ended up wasting a set from some dumbass who musta wanted to buy them and switched 2 around. Just take your time.
