Assuming that the camshaft OD has remained the same, you might have to stay with
the B138 Torrington
bearing. You -might- be able to run a bearing with about 50% larger diameter
rollers and a larger OD
to the bearing shell, you would have to contact Torrington directly about that.
Once you've chosen
a bearing to work with, then contact a machinist to modify your case to accept
the bearing.
Might I recommend Advanced Cycle Machining in Superior WI, on winter street.
He does all my case repair work, via UPS, impeccable quality and reasonable
prices.
He's been doing this much longer than I've been -alive-.
