The Inner Cam Bearing went bad on my Ultra last week spewing needles everywhere in the engine; gonna re-build it for a winter project. But I do intend on tricking out the SG

How many miles on the Ultra when the inner cam bearings let go?

29K...I initially heard a "rattling" sound and my first thought was Cam Chain Tensioner. Once I pull the cover off I noticed metal shavings, so I pulled the entire plate and found needle bearings in the oil pump. It was the Front Inner Cam Bearing that went bad; there were no needle bearings at all left; the cam was millimeters away from grinding into the casing.
