brian crower #1 camshaft review
and no i didnt install the cam gear with a air tool and i had supertech valvetrain with installed height right. and i torqued the cam caps. bc said maybe they got dropped during manufacturing regardles they lasted ten min and ruined a 1200 dollar head.

From the first pic I see you are a chocolate/beer therapy kind of person. Sorry you had a bad experience. I have not had anything like that with my BC cams or with any that I had installed.

Re: brian crower #1 camshaft review
no no i had to take the head off and were the spring sits on the head had to be milled so the spring was actually taller when installed. i called them and bc said that i had a one of a kind ls head because i should have been able to drop them in no problems. i own my own shop and work on tons of hondas and brian crower is full of ****!

Re: brian crower #1 camshaft review
I am a little confused. You will never hit vtec with that setup since it is a ls head. Sorry, not trying to flame just trying to understand what happened. I see a set of vtec cams in the original pics also so if you have an ls head, those cams will not work. Put in many sets of BC cams and havent had any problems. Good luck getting your problem resolved.
oh my god you got reason jajajajajaj

Re: brian crower #1 camshaft review
Dude when u say an ls head are u talking about a previous
problem or is that the wreked head with what I see is some BC vtec cams.
Now if u used an ls head with vtec cams don't see how is that posible but u should lay of the bud and go with some budlight.

Re: brian crower #1 camshaft review
I had a set of their LS cams/valve train bust some caps too... they blamed it on us and wouldnt refund our money. we ate the cost and put a vtec head on it.
I havent seen any BC cams break but it really dosnt surprise me

I run a set of the BC cams in my motor with no problems yet(knock on wood) They made really good power over my CTR cams thanks to Miller.

Re: brian crower #1 camshaft review
I and countless others had a Crower cam break (That was crower not brian crower).
I stay away from all of that now. I have yet to see a skunk cam break.
