I am hopefully getting my project going soon and was wondering about cams. I have heard that you shouldnt have very aggresive cams because of the piston to valve clearance? So would Crower 403’s be to much? Maybe 402’s? tia
piston to valve clearance willd depend on which pistons and what compression you’re running.
i’ve yet to hear much about the crower vtec cams. their non vtec cams are good, but most people seem to shy away from their vtec ones… but i’m not sure why.

Seen a lot of people on the web and at local shops saying the vtec crower cams breaking.
i went to a shop the other day and saw a snapped crower vtec cam. i got scared…
I forget where I read this, but a web search will probably turn something up. I remember reading a discussion/thread or something where brian crower was talking with people about the vtec cams breaking. Crower initially thought it was something to do with poor installation or something, but I think they ended up finding out that the cores they were using for the vtec cams were not adequate for use as vtec cams. They supposedly switched cores shortly after all the people complained of breakage, and supposedly pretty much cured the breakage problem. The thread/discussion I think ended up getting pretty heated, and I think crower generally tried to say that it somehow wasn’t entirely their fault or something, but that they were paying to rebuild a couple of the motors that were damaged, I forget the details. I haven’t heard much since though, but I’d imagine some web searching should turn up more if you’re concerned about the cams breaking.
