Thumbs up 94 lt1 cam

Just got the block back from the machine shop.. I'm reassembling the bottom end myself. I hear mixed opinions on clocking the cam bearings. Any input on this would be great. Trying to figure out the oiling hole locations. Thanks

I had machine shop magnaflaux it and install cam bearings. I just used regular oil let it run on idle for about 20 min then idle up about 1500. Double checked everything test drove it normal. And changed oil at 500-1000 miles.

Thanks. For the reply I will just use regular 530 bulk oil for starters then. Just wasn't sure whether or not I needed an additive or anything.
