I've yet to try either a Comp/ZEX or a Crower cam in my car.

The Crower Stage 3 build I helped on, we had to grind clearance in the oil valley on the head to clear the lobes.

Do a search, there is a plenty of info out there on the zex cams.

[jvlimpottuner]

I had a zex stage 2 cam in my car. It flattened out the lobes, "Ticked" loud as hell, and it also damaged my rocker arm assembly.

Props to zex. :roll:

[transzex]

what assembly lube did you use?

Crower 2 is an amazing street sohc vtec cam. I was so enthralled with the performance of the cam, untuned, that I called Laurie @ Web, who did 2 cams for me previously and told her that the Crower 2 and possibly the Crower 3 are cams that they should study from...

BTW transzex; Brian Crower insist that there is no grinding necessary for the 3 cam to work on y8 or z6. He did hours and hours of R&D on every aspect of that cam and has never heard of such an issue. It's strange your experience was diff. I posted the conversation within another post on the board.

Dester, awaiting your info.

I had a Zex street/strip cam in my old d16z6, i felt a considerable difference with the cam.

Could be the installers fault dont you think :?

[Diablo]

I could see it being the installers fault if the valve lash isn't corrct.

[Toddnos]

how the hell do you flatten lobes on a billet cam :?: on a regrind i can see, but...........

[kommon_sense]

the zex cams are not billet cams. used to be way back in the day, but that changed a while back.

[Toddnos]

so a zex cam is half the price of a crane unit
