Let me put it this way. most of the owners of the other popular camshaft companies learned their stuff while working at or getting cam designs perfected at Crane Cams.

Many of these guys are students of Harvey Crane.

Crane cams, like Crower and Engle and Iskenderian
Cams have been around a long time.

Do a internet search for Harvey Crane.


The Hydraulic rollers from Crane cams work very well.
