Need to replace the cam bearings on my 5.9 magnum. Would prefer to do so with the bottom end installed. Is this possible?

This is what I’m working with.
I hear you about the clearancing. The only thing I can think of is just to cross my fingers if I keep the bottom end in.
Always wonder why cam bearings lose chunks like that.. mine had a few small chunks missing.. i would like to tell you that i changed them... but....
Well that makes senseAcid in the oil, they break down over time. Sitting long periods of time (years) is hard on them too.

Just a guess > valve spring pressure pushing on them 24/7 when sitting for long periods, without being turned over eventually the oil film goes away...
