your cam bearings will be toast, ive done this before, its no big deal as long as you replace them.

The solvent in the tank will distroy the bearings or anything aluminum not to mention is ruins the solvent. If the motor is running and the bearings were never replaced then someone is lying to you.

The motor hasn't been rebuilt yet. I was just wondering if the block would be fine after I removed the bearings that were hot tanked with it. Seems like it'll be fine once I replace it. Thanks.
