I have the Crower 84163 spring/retainer kit and I'm wondering if I can
run the 63402 or 63403 cams? Because on crower's website it says the cams
needs 84161 spring/retainer kit. Can I run the 63403 cams w/o problems with
my 84163 kit or do i need 86141 kit? what do you think?

thanks.

aight.

 

im sure you have heard this already but the crower cas seem to snap into pieces . i know 2 people that have snapped a set of crower cams , and one of them did it twice . maybe it was a bad batch of cams ? .

 

Crower cams will break with improper installation, just like a lot of guys on this board do . Ask Crower what you need and they will back it up. All after market cams have specific requirements, follow directions. Why do you think anyone here would know more than Brian Crower? After 18 sets no failures,maybe were lucky, I think not.

 

-my friend is sponsered by crower and he did in fact break a cam, it was on the dyno at my old work.... scary sound...

 

Did they cover it? Was it one of the experimental cams? We have had some not in the books. Just curious.

 

What is the proper installation for Crower cams? It shouldn't be any different
then the stock cams install, would it?

Any cams would break with improper installation. I've seen JUN 3 break and
they're one of the top (and expensive) cams.

 

I've had my Crower cams and valvetrain for 6 months, and no problems. I run the motor pretty hard too.

The retainers used on the B16's are different than the B18C, they are .060" taller. I had to reorder the right retainers, use 87093-D for the PR3 head, 87093 for the P72 head.

 

If you have the 68185 dual springs, do you still use the H22A retainers or
the B16A/B18C retainers?

-im thinking these were experimental, but then again im not sure...
-he has the white crower integra and he has been trying A LOT of different ****
-but im going with CROWER valve train (maybe cuzz I get a hella good deal on it) LOL

 

On the B16A head (and prolly the ITR heads too, but not 100% sure) you use 87093D, B18C head you get 87093. I have never heard of being able to use H series valvetrain components on B series heads.

*edit* Just going through that Crower valvetrain page you listed and they use the 87093D on the H22A motors too. I didn't know that until just now. Learn something new every day!

Just FYI,

I emailed Crower and here's their reply to me email...


"Yes, you can run that kit with those cams. The #84161 features a new higher
pressure spring that we recommend, but it's not mandatory.
