The cam are made by Crane & they are a good quality piece. Look at your spring pressure, valve adjustment, or possibly an oiling problem as the cause.

I agree. While my first cam from Summit was bent, that was a case of improper storage or damage in shipping. There was nothing "wrong" with the quality of my second cam. The lifters, however, were very noisy and I never really was comfortable with them.

Scott is correct on the potential sources of your problems.

I just heared Crane is no longer making cams. They sold that part of there company. They just grind cams now, like most cam companys.
Although I would not be suprised if they were grinding cams for Summit.
