One of my friend has a b18b and has stage 1 or 2 crowers cams with no upgraded valve spring or retrainers, but has i/h/e...he had it in for like almost a year now i think, and now his car is dead? he blame it on the crowers but he's not sure, he said that could be the crowers that *** up his block because his block was stock and couldnt handle it, i dont think that would happen, but he said that he has some freinds that has the same problems too, so if any of u guys would know what is going on here let us know! thanks

anybody?

 

guess not huh, great help, sure. its cool, no one knows.

 

i dont' think crower makes stage 1 or stage 2 ..and please elaborate on the dead part ...

 

You should try the Tech forum.

I've heard some bad things about Crower Cams. A number of people in the Tech forum posted that their Cams BROKE and fucked their motors up.

Go with Skunk2 cams.

 

I know a buddy that broke his Crower cams. He had a full JUN valvetrain and everything. Crower wouldn't back their product and said it was b/c the valvetrain was faulty. **** that.... Crower sucks.

Get Sunk2, JUN, or Toda.

 

thanks alot guys that was much better, yeah...crowers i heard that they're good and i heard that sometimes they're bad too as well...i dont know either, one more thing will crowers still help out alot without valve springs or retainers upgraded? i think it would but, would it be safe?

 

i hear crower makes good power. but im scared of them because quite a few people on this board have broken them. sure, any cam can break, in fact ive seen pics of each brand broken on this board. but the crowers come up WAYYY too often

 

i dont' think crower makes stage 1 or stage 2 ..and please elaborate on the dead part ...

Crower does make stage 1 and 2...!

 

theyre called 402's , 403's and 404's instead of stages 1, 2 and 3

 

Go check their site then...---->http://www.crower.com
click on hondas...they'll show it.

 

If he said his block couldn't handle the cams, then how is it that the cams are at fault for breaking his engine?

I take it he means 62403 cams.

i have no idea either...

 

I have yet to see a thread regarding Crower's LS cams breaking. Those of you who think they suck, should probably search (now that the archive is back up) and find out why the VTEC cam breakage problem has been happening....

It's people who don't upgrade to the ITR Lost Motion Assemblies who have problems with their cams breaking. The b16 and GSR LMA's can't handle the increased lift. You wouldn't put Toda C's or JUN3's in without upgrading the LMA's, so what makes people think the Crower's are any different?

The LS cams probably didn't cause his "dead" engine, but you're going to need to say what the problem is and elaborate before people can give you opinions.

 

non-vtec posted a thread a while back about his crower cams snapping into pieces

 

and what did he find out was the reason?

 

he didnt find out any reason??

no, i'm guessing that, just like most other people, it was easier for this person to blame it on the cams than to look at the situation and think if perhaps there was ANYTHING he could have possibly done incorrectly to cause it to happen. but hey, blaming somebody else is easier than thinking, and it's the american way!
