anyone ever use vanderveld cam bearings its an old uk company.i didn know they were still around.i sent for a set of bearings and thats what i got.they are different than anything i saw before they are not babbit coated.they arrear to be bronze or something like that and the holes in them are unique.the centre bearing is special as it has a bigger hole to fed more oil into the bearing while the rest have a small round hole.the holes fedding the rockers are small round holes as well but just below them are two more holes the same size.when i first looked at them i didnt know what they were for.i looked at the back and a small groove connects the two holes so it feeds in a little extra oil.they went in tight and the cam turned by hand so i was happy.i cut the groove deeper and talk about oil full of the overflow pipe.
