cam instal

Hello everyone I have been trolling through cam instal posts but cant find the answer to my question. When you upgrade your cam are you changing your cam bearings as well?

No, only time I replace mine, would be on a complete rebuild.

Thanks for the reply,
that explains why no one mentions it in their posts...

The cam install is semi easy, but, the timing chain upgrade can be nasty, because of the oil pump pick-up tube...

What are you trying to build it do? Are you building a DD thats also a weekend warrior? Or only a mild street car? Race Only? Autocross AND 1/4? My 3 PERSONAL favorite cams are the TRex, MS4, and Tsunami cams
