cam bearing replacement?
Hi all,
I just picked up an Andrews EV27 cam for my 97 evo bagger and was curious what bearings I should replace when installing the new cam? I know I should use the Torrington bearing, does anyone have a part number so I know I'm ordering the right one?
When I bought this bike I was told it has a big bore kit, is there any way for me to verify this? I know it has a power commander and a K@N filter and some Hooker slip ons but that's all I have been able to verify thus far. Is there a better programmer than the Power Commander?
Thanks in advance...

It most likely won't have a big bore kit on it but it may have either a stroker kit or an "85" kit, which is nothing more than max oversize on stock bore. A big bore kit on an Evo is a huge undertaking as the cases need boring....you wouldn't be needing an EV27 if it had been upgraded to that extent.
Cam bearing is a B-138.

why did you buy the new cam if you don't know the real history of the engine, but were told it's had engine work, along with it already having a tuner? When you pop it open, isn't it possible that it just might already have an Andrews EV27 in it?

I find it hard to believe that anyone do a bunch of engine work and not change the stock POS cam.

Thanks for the responses guys, I had it partially opened up after I bought it to change all of the fluids (it had been sitting for two years prior) and I did verify that it had the Torrington bearing already but judging from the performance I didn't think it had any major motor work done. I figured the big bore kit line was BS but I was getting this info second hand from the deceased owner's wife so who knows what was actually done to it.
I'll order a B-138 bearing and plan on tearing into it next week so I guess we'll see what's actually in there. Thanks for the info everyone, I appreciate it!

It sure is, because that is exactly what happened to me. I still have the new EV 27 cam that I ordered. A friend is going to put it in his bike when he gets ready to do some work on it.
