There have always been polls about breaking cams....Crower, Jun, Skunk, you name it they all have broken.

What engine are you looking for? It's the DOHC's that have had the major problems however, it's getting more and more rare and Crower will replace the broken cams.

There's been quite a buzz about Crower cams these days on H-T, I would say just read through all the threads and you can get a better picture. I've heard enough to scare me away, not that I even have a need for the cams.

i've seen the crower cam waste a cx/b18c swap first hand, broke between cylinder 1&2 intake side. motor was a total write off. would not risk the crowers. others may break too but seen the destruction myself. and, they tryed to blame a former bmw/porsche tech for a incorrect install when the motor went for over a year with the set up.

i love my 404's even though it isnt tuned yet. i've only heard of the v-tec cams breaking though never non v-tec cams. heard lots of other LS owners say they were better than any other LS cams available
