I know this is good advise!

 

The bushings are soft brass and last a very long time. They also won't fail catastrophically and shed particles of hardened tool steel into the motor like a needle bearing will.

 

That makes cents,

 

Small block chevy? Really I always thought that was a joke when it was said

I bought my Fxr over the past winter, it is amazing to me how a 92 Fxr stayed all stock all these years ran great but had a lot of gear whine ( go back to my first post new Evo owner) was worried that it was Ina bearing ready to go, read a lot about when Harley switched to Ina in 92 but nothing was clear . Went in and it had stock n cam and Torrington, that's all I wanted to know. I put back in a mild Andrews 23 with steel breather with 55 shim, the bike has less gear whine, did this as temporary. Base gaskets weep so I am going to have it redone. Scotts set up sounds tempting, I will tell him to hold the bearing, take it easy just kidding. This was my first motorcycle cam job and all the things I read said replace Ina to Torrington, never saw replace Torrington to Torrington ! Next time it will be replaced, but I am still gonna ride it like I stole it!!! The Chevy lifter thing was me saying u can spend 20$ a lifter to 100$, I never used them but I know some that have, and yes they were in twin cams!!

 

Sounds like the EV13 or a Vthunder is a perfect fit for your riding style. Had 2 of 4 Harley B's collapse in the 89" from abuse by a Woods W6H and tried a set of Ultima's for under $100 which took the abuse without failure. It was my understanding that Johnson made the lifters for Ultima so give a nod to Johnson's. Put S&S lifters in the big block when changing to the S&S cam but hard to swallow $250 when the factory Ultima's was holding holding up with a 640 cam range.

Cam bearing replacement, have you ever seen the case damage if you don't catch a failure in progress. If you wasn't good at the kids game "Operation" you are going to struggle getting the bearings out of the bottom of the engine case if you do catch the failure. Metal thru the oil pump which is replacement, possible cylinder wall damage from metal and in a bagger you need to pull the oil pan off the bottom of the trans which is harder than putting a wet noodle in a wildcats *** to clean the metal out of it. Spend $8 or google wildcat to make your decision for you.

 

this is a little more then ill need, dont need fast, just need a little more torque to haul my fat *** up the hills, my speed days are long over. ive been looking at the w6 cam also but heard its loud in the evo. these things are loud enough for me..

exactly i had already planned on replacing the bearing for the simple fact ill literally be right there, and it would be kind of foolish not to replace it, even if i had low miles if i have it exposes im not going to skimp over an $10 bearing.

from the guy i bought it from, 2nd owner, and i have all receipts and service records, the only thing aftermarket on the bike was the damn saddleman travelcade seat, hell it even had the factory exhaust until i changed the mufflers. and i actually bought both the Harley and Clymer manuals, though im like the harley manual a little more except for the microscopic wiring diagrams..


like i said cam, lifters, air breather, and reject is all i really plan on doing, dont see myself needing more then this..

 

Most reliable performance setup for an Evo.... Period..... especially with an S&S E...

You just need to properly set the lifter preload and she'll be very quiet.....

 

never doubted you just not in this yrs budget.
