TTS-100 Cams and Torrington bearings

[Dr. Joe]

Just ordered my TTS-100 cams and while talking to Vickie I asked if they sell the Torrington bearings as well. She said the cams are designed for stock bearings and checked with someone else to make sure she was giving me the right answer.

So I'm assuming the Torrington bearings are considered to be a stock replacement for any warranty purposes? I never saw this mentioned anywhere else on the forums but just wanted to bring it up in the event anyone else comes across this advise. And no, I don't want little bearing in my crankcase either...

You can replace the stock bearing with the Torrington version if you like but all our in house testing was done with the OEM bearings. When or where the stock one might fail is anyones best guess. I've seen them go bad in as few as 5000 miles yet others go 60,000 and are still fine.

I'm at 50,000 miles so for $20 for the pair I guess it's money well spent.

Thanks for the reply!
