Inner bearings - in the case or outer bearings - in the cam plate or both?

I just changed out all my cam bearings used the torringtons for the inner ones and the outer ones at HD. If you havn't changed the cam tensioner you might want to do that also while it is apart. They will cost you another $150 bucks for the tensioners.

If ya need any help, tow her on down to White River Jct and I'll give you a hand. Might as well do the hydraulic upgrade whilst you're in there.
