Curious to know everyone’s experiences/opinions on having or not having cam bearings in a 5.9 block. Getting ready to put an engine together and don’t know if it’s worth the money right now or not. Any help would be much appreciated!
Probably should let everyone know how much horsepower goal, cam, valve springs combo.
Bigstack95 when you say good oil are you talking 15-40 rotella t4, t6 synthetic, amsoil?? What’s your idea of good oil? Not trying to be sarcastic here. Seriously asking4 (maybe 5?) years on a billet Hamilton cam with no cam bushings in my limited pro stock truck. Run good oil and monitor the valve lash constantly and you'll be fine.

Not synthetic. 20w50 high zinc. Brad Penn or equivalent.
Without going through all the posts and not knowing end goal, I was under the impression 20w50 was primarily competition and shouldn't be street driven?
