Lads:

Engine is off at the machine shop for an overbore and a few odds and ends.

I will want a new bearing for the cam tensioner soon, and Martin Robey lists it as NLA. What are people using for the bearing on the tensioner? Perhaps there is an alternate tensioner that will work?

Gracias,

Vance

I have always retrofitted them with the earlier style that takes 2 bearings. I have found that they are cheaper and easier to "repair" as than the one-piece later style.

Vance,

Ditto Bruce, I had a bearing failure (squealing) I replaced the two bearing set with the same from Delta. Didn't know there was a single bearing available.

Kewl!

Thanks for the tip. Will post an update in the projects section when the block comes back from the machine shop.
