Only other awkward thing is trying to get the camshaft bearing out. It's full of media from the aquablasting and it needs replacing. Being a blind bearing (only accessible form 1 side) it's proving very stubborn, even with heat applied to the outside of the head.any suggestions?
Not done it myself but I have read where you can fill the space between the bearing and cover with grease, then use a drift the same size as the center bore to create hydraulic pressure to pop blind bearings out.
This is how I did it. I had a chunk of round stock brass the exact size for it. Messy, but it worked.
