In the search for something to do, I'm rebuilding / refurbishing a Honda TL trials engine which has been rotting in the corner of my garage for too long.

I know for a fact that the overhead cam bearings are shot (the camshaft itself is fine). These cams run directly in the head.

I recall, years ago, that certain engineering enterprises used to offer a service to bore and fit needle rollers (?) in this event.

Anyone know any contacts, these days.

(Mandatory apology to anyone offended by a H*nda question)

 
Wasn't it Joy Engineering?
Are they still in business?

Still in business, still slo-o-o-o-w, but good.  Dunno if they do the bearings though, cams are his game.
 
As it's cam-related I can see how it would fit in with their business.
I'm sure it was them that offered a conversion back in the day.
 
There were several places in Oz at any rate that fitted bronze bush halves to all the millions of Honda heads that needed it. Do a search on a Honda XR site and sort through the info. Bound to be someone near you.
 
I'm with Grant on this one. I also recall Joy Engineering advertising fixes for Japanese engines in which the cams ran direct in the head.
