I took my 4.0L push rod engine to the machine shop and had them install the new camshaft bearings as I always do. So now its time to slide the camshaft inside and the last oil hole is blocked off! Is this really the case, or does the last bearing not have a oil hole?

Yea, after looking at a different angle and a mirror I can see the hole is there. I guess my eyes aren't what they used to be. Thanks for your help.

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
You get points for checking instead of just jamming it together and finding out later that it was wrong.
