Default CAMS FOR 2000 Lowrider

I have to replace the cams in my 2000 Lowrider. Mechanic says the cost will be about the same if I change to gear drive since all the chains and tensioners have to be replaced anyway. Does this sound about right? I hope so because I want gear drive anyway.

I am thinking about the Head Quarters HQ-0034-G cam. Any experience with this cam or any advice about other cams would be appreciated.

No advice for you, but curious in what caused you to have to replace the cams (I too have a 2000 LR).

Tx,
Mike

Looks like a cam bearing went out and took the chain drive with it. You might want to have yours looked at to see if the cam bearings have been updated. I had just over 21,000 miles.

Last conversation with the mechanic sounds like it may take a total rebuild/replacement of the motor.

seek a new wrench. the whole total rebuild at 21K sounds suspect to me.
