Installing USED gear drive cams
I have a set of used Andrews 37G cams, along with a new install and gear kit.
The cams look real good, no signs of any wear. You guys think it would be ok to use my old lifters? The bike has 50K miles. If I pull the old lifters and they look excessively worn, I will change them. Just wondering if using the old lifters with a used cam would be acceptable.

Wow, didn't realize lifters were that cheap. Guess it's new lifters.
However, getting the bearings on the cams and getting them in the cam plate is another story. Is the freezer-cams/oven-bearing the best way to go? Putting the bearings or the cam plate in the oven won't cause any damage?

Each of us has a different threshold when it comes to doing what I will call the more difficult jobs. That is one I would prefer to have done by an expert!

I agree, however, having not worked with a particular shop, how would you know their expertise? They could turn out to be dumb-asses.

I would only chose a shop with a decent reputation, it's as simple as that! Fortunately I have a local indy who is a long-standing H-D Master Tech with an excellent reputation, who has done a lot of work for me over the years. Find an owner you trust who can make a similar recommendation.
