Not so sure about that with the lack of cam bearings. Once the head wears out you need a new head.
I say our heads can be line bored to accept two piece babbitt clad or single caged needle bearings or whatev', maybe even a non machine shop method with an epoxy. We will eventually see somebody innovate a proper fix for this obvious shortcoming in the design. At least we have people in the game such as Pieman working on needed fixes like this.
