Mackpro Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Mack alway told us , dont change the cam bearings unless its grooved up bad enough you hang your finger nail on the #2 and #5 cam bearing. We rarely ever put cam bearings in ETECH style engines. This was back around 2000 when we were doing 3-4 cam jobs a week under warranty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The kit was to help with Jake brake issues on engines with high miles and low oil pressure, if your engine brake works good when hot this migh not help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
