Crane roller conversion kit - Who's using it and what cam are you running?

I didn't make a suggestion because then the topic ends up arguing over who makes the best knootin valve. You know?

I used Comp, chevy style HRL with an alignment bar between the pair for a bit and it worked great. The "spider" setup works though. All you have to do is tap a couple oil drains in the valley and your running. ...you can do it yourself.

I stopped using roller because of a few reasons, not the least of which is money. My setup is mechanical now, and it comes apart every time we are done with it. Roller is easier on the lobes, no doubt, but for the one who wants to try a new cam every summer, or month it just isn't wirth the money. Grief to green bro.

I am sorry I don't have a part number for you, but I will look in my box tonight and see what I can find. Meantime, any of the roller kits will work fine with ANY roller cam. The thing with Crane is just that: a thing. They are a marketing company more than anything. Would you buy a car from Amway?

BTW, what RPM/HP/TQ are you planning?

Later.
