i have the new stage 2 turbo cams by crower with about 400 miles on them and today just doing some normal boosting while tuning my fuel at 7 psi my exhaust cam split clean in half closer to the cam gear. has anyone had any problems or heard of anyone having one of these cams break on them?

does anyone know what crower might do since it is most likey product fault. i did have a professional machine shop do all my head work.

Do you know why it broke? Seems to me the reason a cam would break is if it seized. Id be interested in what the cam bearings looked like. Also, gasket sealant can cause a cam to seize if it gets on the bearings. Was their any gasket sealant used near that side of the cam on the cam cover? Id like to get a set of Crower cams, so Im interested in what you find out.
