well last night, Tut and I decided to take some gas station shots so here goes.

here's Tut with his "so uncreative engine standing pose"

and here's me with my "bringing back the crazy old school inline skating pose"

well anywho, on to my problem that also happened that same night. i'll let the pictures explain. i was also forwarned that this problem might arise from john (Vaportrail) the guy who tuned my car. same thing happened to him.

that was an crower exhaust cam.

 

Dam. Has anyone had any good luck with crower ****?

That sucks.

 

Wow, your cars look great. The blue one looks great with new paint.

 

 

wow if i drove by that station and saw u clowns doin those silly poses id prolly be confused. and if i worked at that hess id fire those 2 for 5 12 packs at u , prolly scared away customers hahahah on the clean rides tho .

 

Holy ****.

 

Yeah, it was a good night till that damn bridge. Pics turned out good. We'll get that hatch running good again. I think I am switching my plans from Crower to Skunk2 after we pulled that valve cover and I shined the flashlight on the exhaust cam on the side of the road.

 

Lots of "broken Crower cams" threads these days. Must be a trend. But yeah, I've heard nothing but good things about Skunk2 cams, except they cost an arm and a leg. Nice pics.

 

hey tut whats up with ur site

 

The site is fine, but I am WAY too busy to do all the manual uploading of pages and images for people right now. I am working on a new registry that will make it alot easier to do everything. I would expect the site to be going full bore with new registry and forums in about 2 months after I gradamatate college.

 

did you talk to brian yet? is he going to cover anything

 

Ouch that hurts!

Who did the install and was it professional?

 

OFF Topic, but I sent you pictures to upload and everytime I try to upload them on my own they never work .

 

doesn't crower make skunks cams?

 

Were they installed correctly? Install error can be the cause of a broken cam. I'd say skunk2 stage 2's or Toda B's(thats what i have).

 

si hatch, and tut....god that must be an ugly weight/power ratio j/k love the hatch

how did that stock civic radiator hold up in doing its job with your setup?

sucks about the cam

Crower cams arent shitty, you just have to use ITR lost motion assemblies for them to not break.

 

dam who the hell???
nice cars

 

yep, alot of threads about them, especailly in a few other web-boards. I wonder if Crower is ever on here, hello...... , I've been selling heads for the reason of crappy cams.

Skunk2 cams don't cost "arm and a let", in fact, alot cheaper than Toda/Jun cams. Though, I would rather go with Toda/Jun anyday.

Yeah, I bet I always have the heaviest 92-95 hatch at the track.

 

My stock radiator never lets the gauge go over the half way mark, so I am happy with it for now. I plan to get one of those C&R with the thin fan. As for the cam install. They were installed with Crower retainer and spring package by a professional mechanic.

 

John was lucky when it happened to him! He was at a stop light, so no MAJOR damage. Glad to hear your back up and running!

yeah, but im sure that arm and leg are worth it when **** like this happens. ive never seen a broken cam before and confused on how something like this can happen. can someone clue me in?

 

thats like the third thread ive seen on crower cams being broken. hmm, crower should start looking into. but i say skunk2

 

fishbrain? makio?
