6.5 eats cam bearings. They wear horrible. Share all you know please. My knowledge is really lacking, so I am asking for help along with hoping everyone’s knowledge grows so we all know the best option for doing this the best way possible.
Back coating that can be burnished (like sanding) to get the best fit.
Face coating the camshaft itself to reduce wear & resistance.
Cleaner oil to stop soot (carbon) from wearing the surface faster.
That’s pretty much all the tricks up my sleeve.
I seen cam bearings fail in 2 ways. Scoring, or the seam coming apart and snagging the cam.
Worn cam bearings are #1 reason for oil pressure loss.
We know roller rockers lower the stress, is there any stats on how much? Is it enough to extend bearing life?
