    What's the deal with bronze cam bearings.....
    Are they still available; and from where?
    Can you use them in a "street" engine with success?


    thanks,

    There is no reason to have to run a bronze cam bearing.

    If that's what it takes to make a bearing live in any particular motor, then there are other issues that need to be addressed.

    I have not lost a cam bearing in a long time... in fact, only recall ever losing them on one motor.. including roller cam motors, with their monster valve spring pressure.

    I am not aware of any source for this type of bearing, nor any need.
