I don't think there would be enough meat on the caps for a bearing. I just hate to think if for any reason a cam went bad and caused Journal damage when it did there would be no repairing it you would have to buy a head. And even after 100,000 miles I would still rather buy bearings than a head. I have rebuilt 50s and 60s Triumph heads with 3 times that on it and I just don't see that happening with our bikes.



I agree with you, it just seems like that's the trade off for overhead cam performance VS push rods.
