Cam bearings

I'm thinkin of putting in a Motorsport stage 2 racing cam and I was wondering do you have to replace the cam bearings or can you reuse them if they are still good?

I actually haven't ever heard anyone talk about bearings when they do a cam. I would replace them tho... don't wanna scratch up a new cam.

I think you're thinking about lash pads. They are the little things that slide along the cam lobes as it turns. To answer your question, YES you need to replace them when you put a new cam in.
