Hi Terry,

I'm having cam bearings installed as part of my TR250 rebuild. TRF or 
BPNW will know what you need. The hard part may be finding a qualified 
machine shop to do the line boring. It's not standard stuff. I couldn't 
find one in my area -- city of about 100,000.

As Jim said, it isn't cheap. I heard numbers as high as $600.00. Shop 
around. If memory serves, $250 - $300 was more like it.
