My 6.0 cam bearings looked really good for 120,000 miles. During disassembly I found a chip missing on one bearing that had to have been done at the factory during camshaft install. I've had three different camshafts on that same bearing since the engine freshen-up with no issues.

Looking at pistons (and maybe rods) I could probably spring for something like this. Or any better options in this ball park?

Our PRO LS piston and rod combos with the 6.098" rods and .945" pins are good for 1,000+ whp out of the box. Those come with 2618 forged pistons designed for boost and nitrous with thick ring lands. The 4340 forged H-beams come with ARP-2000 rod bolts. To top it off we include a premium ring pack. They feature a Napier-hook second ring for strength and maximum oil control.
