Default Tc 88 cam plate question??

I am changing the tensioners.. the problem I'm having is when I pressed the cams out the bearing came with the cam can I go ahead and press these back in after I put the new tensioners on?? or do I have to replace the bearings now because I pressed it out?

They are not much money. I would replace them. All 4 bearding from s&s is under $70 with gasket

You could also argue the cam pulled on the inner race. I believe they should be pressed by outer race.

Buy new ones. iMO
