I wouldn't recommend the HD Cam Install kit (17045-99C), which is now almost $100 (believe it or not) and is gross overkill since it has gaskets and bearings for every engine from Evo on up. Thus, there's a lot of waste regardless of what you own. It has seven bearings in the package, only two of which you will use if you buy Timkin inner bearings (B148 for early TC's, B168 for later), and you will use none of them if you have a newer TC96/103/110.

Fuel Moto has a model-specific kit ($50) that includes everything including Timkin inner bearings and all needed gaskets and o-rings should you intend on re-using your stock pushrods. Thus, there isn't nearly as much waste as with the HD kit. If you will be using time-saver pushrods you could save even more by buying only what you need, which wouldn't be much. Adjustable pushrods should have pushrod-tube o-rings in the kit.

I didn't know HD was selling the Timkin inner bearings under the SE name. Do you know the cost of these and the part number for both the B148 and B168 types? I couldn't find them in the 2010 SE catalog.

Also, is there a Timkin outer bearing available for the early TC's? If so, is this the best route to go or is the HD version reliable enough? I know they had trouble with early-TC outer bearings, but I assume they have ironed out these problems.

I believe the SE/Timken inner cam bearings are about $14.95 a pair.
I don't recall the part number.
