What do you think about switching the bushing in the cam cover over to a roller bearing?? Reducing friction will improve performance and efficency.

 

done it a million times,let me look around and get the torrington # for you,have also done sporty`s and even gen. covers.brearing HAS to be set up at .001 fit,too little and bearing will seeze,too much and bearing will spin(or just fall out)

Thanks! Does torrington make a crank pinion needle bearing also?

 

we tried that too,really lost alot of oil press.

cam bearing is a B168 torrington bearing,you will also need to make a nylon thrust washer .075x1.0x1.5 to take up for the bronze coller on the cam side end of the stock bushing.after you take out the bushing and bore the cover,mill a .100 slot coming down from the top of the hole for oiling
