Ronnie,
No it doesn't sound right. According to my references, the Mk2 engines
used bearings. However, is someone used an earlier (Mk1) cam or a later
MkIV through 1500 cam, they may have fit it directly into the block
without bearings. This is how those engines were configured. Or
perhaps someone replaced the engine with a Mk1 block. What is your
engine number?
You can of course install bearings if you use one of the cams that work
with them. These cams were used with Mk2, Mk3 and Early MkIV engines
and have smaller journals so that there is room for the cam bearings
between them and the block.
Regards,
Joe

When i picked up my engine from the shop today, they handed me back the
cam bearing and informed me that this block did not have bearing in it.
This seem a little strange to me? Is this common for a MkII?
Every thing else look great.
Total price for all work done as mentioned the other day was $278.00
