have engine out and apart! Ques about cam bearing/
i got the engine apart no real indication of oil starvation! bearing have spots on them from possibility having water in the oil! pulled the cam out to check cam bearings, and there's only one, one front cam bearing, is this all cummins used in these cause gasoline engines have 5 or 6! cam doesn't look tore up! any ideas or answers

i have to admit it struck me as real weird also, i was just used to seeing cam bearing. and i looked it up in the factory rebuild book, if they are out of spec they say to replace the block.
