When I put in mine I tapped it in and didn't have any problems.
The old school way is to use the old cam and tap it in and they wouldn't have done it if it destroyed the cam bearing.

 

^+1 on STA-BILŪ for storage but again, we're a little biased..

 

How about some free samples for members.

 

You were correct, I tapped it in last night with almost no effort. I didn't think it would go in that easy. How come we don't have to use sleeve retainer or anything with these bearings? Anyone ever get a spun cam bearing? Seems like it would destroy the engine case.

 

Yes they can spin. Did you make sure the rollers spin? They can get in a bind if they dont go in straight.

 

Yes they spin fine. Much smoother than the one that came out

 

Good to go then. Be sure to give the rollers a heavy coat of assembly lube.

 

That's what I keep forgetting to buy. I'll pick some up. Cam should be arriving tomorrow.

 

You don't need it.
A little motor oil will work just fine.

 

I've never been very big on any "witch oil".. I don't have any problem with Stabil and do believe its the best option if you're going to use anything.. However, I prefer to completely fill my bikes with NON-Ethanol fuel.. Specifically the last tank of the season. Real gas should be fine for up to 6mo in my experience.. I wouldn't let this ethanol **** sit in my stuff for 1mo..
