No Camshaft bearings in a Diesel engine??
How else are these shafts mounted then? Absolute load of Crap!!!
I haven't forgotten my basics of mechanical engineering even after taking on an IT profession. There is no way a cam shaft - for that matter any shaft - can be mounted without use of at least one bearing - the bearing could be a simple bronze or Gun Metal Bush or a roller or ball bearing. Selection of the right type of bearing depends on the purpose for which the shaft is to be used.
