Cam Chain Tensioner Shoes, Cams, and Cam Bearings Removal
Bob LaRosaDescription
Bob LaRosa, our Harley expert, walks us step-by-step through removing Harley cam bearings, cams, and cam chain tensioner shoes.
Here is an example of a worst-case scenario on an 88 c.i. Twin Cam. Pics are from a blown motor we previously had in the shop.
One of the original inner cam bearings failed.
A few bearing needles wiped out the oil pump. The oil pump seized over the crank shaft and damaged the crank shaft.
The rest of the bearing needles dropped into the crankcase and and continued to spread throughout the engine.
This is why it is of utmost importance to upgrade inner cam bearings and cam chain tensioners on the Twin Cam engine.
