Got my block back from the engine builder but I think the front cam bearing is in the wrong way. Am I right in saying that the big long hole goes on the bottom that is the oil feed that comes from the crank main bearing and the small hole goes on top which is the feed to the rockers?

yes that is correct. I just checked a block that GR fitted cam bearings to last week.

Thanks for that, much appreciated. My front cam bearing is in upside down then. Back to the engine builders.
