If you do a cam swap on a motor with 50 or even 100k miles, is it okay to not tear down the motor and replace the cam bearings?
Thanks

werd...110,000 miles did 1st H/C swap at 90K...did my 2nd cam swap at 100,000....runs like a raped ape w/it's *** on fire. stock chain, oil pump. I keep 6qts of royal purple 10/30 in it and just don't turn it over 6500 and she'll last forever....revs and low oil are what kills these motors....anything over 6800rpms and ur risking motor's life.
