BC cams came out less than 6 months ago. They do not have an H22 application yet. They are different than just plain crower cams and from his site > Brian Crower grew up at Crower Cams & Equipment Company, where he headed up the Crower Sport Compact division since its inception. With Crower Cams heavily focused on the V8 market, Brian saw an opportunity to truly support the needs of the Sport Compact community. With the support of his family, Brian Crower Inc. was formed to deliver the highest quality internal engine components for a variety of popular engine platforms. > [@2003specv](#): > > I’m not planning on doing cams until I blow my head gasket with the potato. And louie??? Have fun getting the block and head decked. Its allumimum remember. ---

> [@Variable](#): > > I belive these are the cams that James from PE was running when he snapped it in half. Those were in a prelude though. It might still be worth looking into, considering the damage that can be caused. Cams snapping in half…That must be due to poor quality Eh, or could it be due to install error. Cams are very fragile Since they are hollow so it doesnt take much o snap them EI Timing belt or chain failure of some sort. You can drop a cam and if it hits the right way it will snap. I have read alot about these cams and have never heard of anything on the Nissan forums saying them ran into problems with cams snapping. ---

> [@InitialD](#): > > flavio can you ask if they have ca cams? something along 272 lines? [http://www.coltcams.com/](http://www.coltcams.com/) they do CA regrinds. if you send in a pair of stock cams they can regrind a 270 degree cam with 8.8mm lift, which is the maximum stock valvetrain will safely handle. i think the cost is about $400US, but they’re a canadian company, so there’s no duty on the work. [http://forums.nicoclub.com](http://forums.nicoclub.com) has more details in the CA section. ---

OK so they are on their way to my house. It is 10 dollars for shipping (cost about 48 dollars for all 4 sets) but i got spings with it. So lets say 10 dollars per iteam. They should be here in about 6 days. When they get here i will contact everyone. These are the people that ordered RS13, Nis240, Shawn Jacobs and Jordan Van Dyke? ---
