just curious to hear from people that HAVENT broken there Crower VTEC cams, and what models they are running... how many miles, etc...

again i have already read about every single broken crower cam that is in the archives... so, thanks. i have already heard that story...


i ask cuz i just bought a set of 'used' Crower 63402A's off a local kid, and am in the process of putting them in right now and have been spending too much of my free time reading archived posts.... and feel its time to hear some good news

 

I have Crower stage 3 in my b20/vtec. It's about 6 months and 5k miles.

 

i know it isnt vtec but i got some crower 404's in for about a year and no problems. i think the old cast had some problems breaking but the new casts are good. like i said i think

 

H22 Crower 3's, track car 30+ passes at 9K+
Crower valvetrain as well.

yeah, see but that is the problem. i dont know how old these cams are... he never put them in his car and had them for a while... they may be 2 years or older...

 

I have a close buddy here that has been running H22 modified low lobe stage 2 cams for about 60000 miles and has had them since 2002. Still running.

I am running 62483-2 cams in my engine for the last 20000 miles and 2 years with more than 1100 road racing miles. still strong, no weird wear or breakages.

we have never had a broken Crower cam.

 

well hopefully i am gonna be with you guys....

something else that concerns me is that all the part numbers on Crower's website have a -2 at the end....my cams arent stamped with a -2.... maybe they just dont put the 2 there? or maybe there is a version 2? and i dont have it... p

 

i belive the "new" casting adds a -2 at the end of their part numbers wich are on the end of their cams. anyway mine are about 2 years old DD and no problems (but they arent vtakk)

 

4 yrs dd... b16 with crower valve train... 63402's i think they might even be the old batch. the one that every one had so many problems with.

 

so you have the old style B16A LMA in there then? or you upgrade to ITRs?
