Re: I think the Crower Turbo LS cams ruined my head (justint)
Is this a trustworthy mechanic? Can you be sure that they didnt mess up your valvetrain and are trying to find a way out of it?

Shaeffers came highly recommended and they have been working with me for over a year now. I have no reason to think they are trying to screw me.

never heard of crower cams seizing in the head once warmed up.......thats diffrent.......you can try calling crower and see what they have to say about that......chances are they are going to tell you its an installation error.
but if you bitch at them enough they will take the cams back and measure the journals to see if they are correct.
also ask your mechanic to make sure the timing belt is no on to tight. when the belt is to tight it pulls the cams down towards the head causing poor lubrication. and the belt gets even tighter when the engine warms up because the head and block expand......that can cause lots of problems.
