Other than that, just like what Mike said, most every flat tappet cam is ground on the manual Berco type machines, they have more variation. I think Comp may grind some flat tappet cams on CNC grinders.

Those guys at Crower need to drink an extra cup of coffee before the fire up their grinders …. The flat tappets from Crower seem to vary in how they are ground pretty wildly. Part of why I said you need to check cams out and Crower is no different. I have seen the 60919 come out looking like a single pattern cam, I have seen them mess up the LSA and it measured 116. The worst was the cam that had an extra 18* of exhaust seat timing on it. All on what is suppose to be the same cam. I like Crower, but they need to move that cam grinder that does those cams out of that dark corner of the shop!
Really disappointing to hear that! I’ve only heard good things about their grinds
