OK guys im almost ready to puchase everything for my cam swap but had some questions still after searching around. Im going with the SE204 cams in my 2013 streetbob with a 96ci. Will be buying fuel moto pushrods and cam install kit. As for the cam bearing install tool i found one on ebay for $50 doll hairs shipped from a seller named whoya. Anyone used this tool or know anything about it? Seems a bit cheaper than some i have seen and wasnt sure if there was a reason for this. Thanks for the help.

 

To install the new cam bearings you will need a puller to remove the old bearings first, which probably isn't included with the $50 "whoya" tool you saw on ebay.

Ahh you are correct. Just looked at the item again and it does not include the puller.

 

You just need the puller, you can tap in the new inner cam bearings using one of the old cams as a tool. Freeze the bearings in your freezer a day before installing them. Put a little bit of oil on them, tap lightly....They will go right in.

 

This will probably be the route i go. I know iv read numerous times people saying to do it the "right" way but i cant justify spending 100+ on a tool im only going to use once in the next few years.

 

I thought the tool was bought and sold on here frequently making it an effective rental.

 

Yup, this.

I recently installed 204's and really like them. Fuel Moto even had a canned map for me which was awesome.

 

I hear what you're saying but frankly it's worth buying the tool from Heartland Express, or watch the classifieds here. I bought mine and sold it the day after I used it. Total cost including shipping was $15 after sale. Job is incredibly easy with the right tool.

Also, not sure if FM has re-designed their adjustable pushrods, but if not they're a little more complicated than some of the others for only a few $ less. Up to you, I'm sure they're a fine product. I used the S&S Quickees, got a great deal from Phat Performance.

The job itself is a lot of fun and not too difficult. If you're not familiar with it there's a good video put on by JP on you tube plus lots of threads here. Here's a link to mine.
