Brad,
Larry is correct. Oversize cam bearings are (or were) available
(Vanderville).
I installed a set of cam bearings in a block about 2 years ago. They
cam out of a box that was marked (STD), but the cam wouldn't go into
the block.
On the shelf next to where I had stored the "STD" bearings I found the
problem. A box marked "+20" and in that box were a set of "STD" cam
bearings..........
