Yeah, talked to some retard at BC who thought customer service means shouting at people. I wish I lived in Cali so I could talk to manufacturers face to face.
Finally got to talk to Brian himself. Not an easy company to deal with at all. The dude just doesn't think its possible he can make a mistake. Anyway. Ill be sending the cam back to him and see what comes of it. Im so done with tuning.

As for anything being installed incorrectly or not torqued. Of course he accused me of this but I checked and double checked. All cam caps are labeled and numbered. Everything was torqued to spec with a torque wrench twice.

If it were my fault there would be scoring on the cam face and a lead in where the sprocket pressured the dowel out of its seat. None are present so.................

Ill give my thoughts once BC looks at these and tells me what he is going to do.

To the other people who are surprised that a "Crower" product would do this, keep in mind this is Brian Crower (the son). He is basically piggybacking off of the business name his father created to bring business to himself.

There are mixed feelings about BC cams in the FWD SR20 world. Without getting into it, I would rather pay a bit more for JWT cams. Jim and lark have been designing parts for the Nissan community long before most of us were around, and they have the reputation, knowledge, and following to show for it.

Good luck with this man!! Hopefully they will take care of you.

I've heard nothing but good things about crower cams....I drive a focus, and for my car crower cams are praised as one of the best among focus drivers.

Sorry for your trouble bro, hopefully you get it worked out.
