Bet you're a lot of fun in the dentist's chair, Jack !

I agree the bearings aren't likely to turn.  But IMO it's still important to
make sure the holes line up, since if the retaining hole isn't lined up, there's
a good chance that the oil hole isn't either.  Especially important on the
rearmost cam bearing, since it also feeds oil to the rocker shaft (if it's
installed right).

Not contempt at all, just my $.002 ...
