Ran into a couple problems while starting the motor, ordered the parts today and should be good to go mid week.  Start up sounded beefy and loud

did a little street tuning as well as some boost just to get it relatively driveable. runs pretty damn good, pulls hard for only 5.5psi  :yes:

I was going to say in the video it sounded like something was really off but then again bad sound quality does that too.

Driving Sunday afternoon, first gear ripper then my car goes limp and dies.  Pull over and try to figure out wtf is wrong, tow it home and figure out i dont have any spark.  Take the dizzy off and try to crank it over, notice the car is turning over but the intake cam moving.  take the valve cover off to find that these awesome crower cams decided to break in HALF.  Not one cam, but both. 

ill get shitty cell phone pictures up when my phone wants to cooperate with me and my computer

How old are the crower cams? Many of the early ones from atleast 5+ years ago were prone to this



For the dohc vtec b series crowd just buy ctr/itr cams and call it a day.

Not sure how old the cams are, but the part number is 63401-t2, Im not sure if those are the older crower cams or not, because ive seen the same crower cams with a part number that starts with a b.

I called crower multiple times and they have yet to return my call. >:(

I wouldnt be too pissed but some of my valves are fucked and the pistons are knicked, plus Cool Desert Nights(local car show) is coming up in a month and now im going to miss it. If crower even knocks off money to replace mine i would be content. Well see. pics to come shortly

Those cams looks IDENTICAL to mine, broken in the same spots

Maybe ill go with Brian crower instead, havnt seen anything about his cams snapping, plus his customer service seems to be better

Hotrex got an entire Crower valve train setup with Crower cams and ran it and blew all the exhaust cam caps apart. I wouldn't buy shit from them.

Crower or Brian Crower?

seems like when brian worked at crower he was the guy to talk to to get your shit back up and running.

Yeah I would bet that as well, as iirc crower cams was started by brian crowers old man, and brian was into sport compacts, so they started the brian crower so he would have something to do. Or so the internet legend goes...
