07 and up is the 96" motor with the B168 inner bearings. 99-06 used the B148's. The SE inner bearings are one and the same made by Torrington so you can get them from HD now as well.

Here are a couple of tutorials on changing cams on the TC96, which is the same procedure you'd use on your TC103.

Write-up 1

Write-up 2

Buy a manual, read these write-ups, and along with an inner-bearing tool and the usual items in the average tool shed you're in business. The Torrington-Timkin B-168 bearings are part #24018-10 at $15/pr.

What cams are you planning to use? I want low end torque. I am thinking SE 255's?

I agree there's nothing wrong with the stock INA (caged) bearings and I've heard of no failures with these, but if you do change them you might as well install the more robust Torringtons that have double the number of needles. For only $15/pair it is good peace-of-mind, if nothing else.

If you want low to mid range TQ (off idle to 4,000-4,500 RPM) in a Stage 1 96" you will be hard pressed to find a better set of cams than the SE 255's!
