    That motor had a few cam bearing changes so take your serial # to the Cat store and they may have a fix for that problem. Good luck Bob

    Thanks Bob it is gona need more than over size bearing. We started the process today at the machine shop. Going to bore and sleeve it to specs. Than it will accept standard cam bearing
