Cam bearings 1275 a series
Does anyone know a make of cam bearings that don’t require reaming after fitting . If so where can I purchase these from . Also do the Minispares cam bearings need reaming . I’ve a tool for removal and fitting and wouldn’t mind buying a suitable tool for the reaming if anyone knows of something . …. Shirley

I use the minispares cam bearings in all my engine builds.
No reaming necessary….

I use ACL Bearings, which are pre-sized.
I doubt there's a ream to size bearing available these days.

I think you might be right, but watch NOS on Ebay, like Rover, apparently they do need reaming to size.
