[Amc-list] Cam Bearings 195.6 OHV

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My machinist called yesterday evening to ask when my
195.6 block was made.  It is a 1963 (April) block.  He
said the cam bearing size had changed during the
production run of that engine.  I'll ask when the
old/new breakpoint was (based his sources).

I know Frank Swygert had said in an earlier post that
the cam bearing changed sometime in 1964 or 1965.  The
Kanter Auto Parts site indicates that the cam bearing
size changed in 1961.  If ordering for a 1961 engine,
they need the engine number (presumably the production
date off the block).

I just brought this topic up because I would like to
pin the change date down for posterity once and for
all.  Hopefully, my machinist ordered the correct
bearings for my block.

Frank? Anyone? Does anyone know why the
journal/bearing sizes were changed?
