Subject:Camshaft Bearings

Hi,

I got to speak to the mechanic that has done all the work on my 84 Westy
for the last 6 years.  (4 speed) and he suggests  I put new camshaft
bearings in.  He says they're just making a tiny bit if noise, not bad
"yet".   But should be done within the next 2000 mi.  I know I can get
hubby to do the work just wondered about how long it a job it is, and if
anything else should be done while he's at it?  Any special tricks i
should pass on to him?  Please don't tell me he's going to have to pull
the whole engine!! I have this sinking feeling I'm going to be out in
the barn  with him.  (you know, the gopher)  Go fer this wrench, go fer
that socket, I'm hungry, gofer some lunch,  gofer another cup of coffee,
etc., etc..
