The part about the cam holders is also very accurate. The aluminum head parts will wear-out far before the big steel stuff will. But...if you used bearings on the cams, you would need really heavy duty ones. That my friends is why these bikes are under the magical $10k mark. You could improve a lot of these bikes, just gonna cost ya. Transparent aluminum?

Talking to a guy in one of our local car repair shops last week.

He told me that the majority of new cars these days don't have any bearings on their camshafts.

His statement was that with the quality of synthetic oils these days they aren't needed.
