Anyone having this problem? just a bad batch? or just bad install?

 

what happend ken...did they break on you new motor?

 

Yeah.. unfortunately. ... exhaust cam and it took 8 valves with it.

 

ouch!!!...that sucks man, sorry to hear that.

 

I would look into that with crower!~

 

do a search with google and you will find several people who have broke Crower cams. we broke the ex cam on our 63413s several years ago, never ran them again. funny we haven't broke a cam since!

 

I'm looking at a broken crower cam right now. Supposedly it is one of the older ones that was prone to breaking. IDK.

 

I heard of them breaking. so I never used them. I sold them.

 

Sorry to hear about the damage. I got rid of my crower cams fearing for breakage.

Yeah, I was scared too, but was foolish enough to think that it was a myth.

 

Yeah I have heard bad things about them breaking . Richie from JDM cars broke

His cams awhile back .

 

has anyone on here had any other cam brand break other than crower? just curious

 

i had some break the begining of last year and brian took care of me. Sent him the broke ones, and he sent me the new ones and a new set of valves at no charge. Great customer service as far as I am concerned. I haven't had a problem since. (knocking on wood). My friend and I run the same cams and haven't had any problems. He sent his non-defective "old batch" of cams for the newer version at no cost as well. Remember that you will get more accomplished with a polite attitude than to call and vent your frustrations at them. my 2 pennies.

I personally have used Crowers for quite some time and I never had an issue. However, it seems as though there will always be bad products when they are in mass production. I have known of people who have had issues with the JUN stage 3 cams where they broke also.

 

personally seen 3 sets break when they first came out people where breaking them like wild fire supposedlyy they where just to big when i called crower they tryed to play like they never heard of it before i thought they solved that prob though

 

its broke right around #1 cylinder... it bent the valves really good... ill see if i can post the pics I took... well be back out though... might not be running as fast, but its not gonna stop us from racing.

Its good to hear that Crower fixed the problem and helped you out. I hope they do the same for the other people who have had their Crower cams break.

I never had a problem with my crower cams, I had them in my car for rougly 15 runs and about 30 dyno pulls. Breakage was always in the back of my mind and I had a uneasy feeling about the cams even though I did my research and found that alot of diferent cam manufacturers or companies have had failures. Im glad I dont have Crower cams any longer. The uneasy felling was the reason I had them for such a shorth period of time.

Ken, make sure you call Crower, let us know what happens.

 

that's it.. im rippin mines out.. can't take it anymore.. Crower this... and Crower that... can't trust it no more....

 

crower stick to the v8's cause 4 cylinders are just way over your head

 

even though they gave ya the valves and new cams, thats labor you shouldnt have to do.

 

has anyone ever tried cryo-treating them?

 

we borke a set in a turbo b16 a while back......
