best cam bearing?s

The new SE are the same as the torriers, Also the new INA's for the 96er's are better than the older ones for the 88's..
When I got my new Andrew's cams in 09 the bearings they recommended and sell with the cams kits was the INA's
When I called them (Andews TecH line) they didn't say there where better, just that he said in their test they liked the INA's better now that they are bigger for the 96'ers and with the HYD tensioners there is a lot less pressure on them.
Bottom line is most ole school thought still lean to the torringtons...
Also I called the five dealers around here and all but one still use the INA's in the 96er's when doing cam jobs..
Its not the issue it used to be, at least so I've been told and I don't know of know anyone personally that's had any probs with the INA's.
Only 1 motor 88''er that I have seen at the dealer that had cam bearing probs and that one that the wrench said the way it was ridden and taken care of it prob would not have made a Diff..
For peace of mind just install the New SE bearings and U'll be fine

The IPB failure was caused by no alignment dowels in the trans and inner primary cases...not the bearing. It is a misalignment issue.

All that to say that MOCO saves a penny here and penny there....still raises the price of the bike. they could make it more reliable with better components.

The Andrews rep/tech did tell me that their test showed the new bigger INA cam bearings for the 96 proved to be better overall and why they sell them with there cam kits. Its also the bearings I had put in with the Andrews cams.
