crower cams hitting the tapits - Page 2 - Honda Prelude Forum

Hey Nat. Don't trouble yourself to find the pic! This one works real well, especially since you say they look similar. My rockers look about the same.

And hey, hard to beat buying a set of camshafts & springs when you're saving over $1000. Grinding the rockers was not an issue for me, especially since I'm saving that much!

Took me 45 minutes (tops!) to shave the rockers.

My head studs just came in the mail, so I'll post pics after I get the engine assembled... right before that camshafts go in.

Edit: wow, scratch that... I was sent MAIN studs instead of HEAD studs......

crower 3s were pretty impressive when they first came out. yeah that was kinda long ago and newer technology and better performing cams are out now. but that doesnt mean they werent innovative in the beginning

now a days you just need right valve relief so you dont have piston to valve or valve to valve

Eh, I suppose. All the dyno's I've seen of the H22 Crower cams (esp 3) seem to have minimal gains over the stock units and just hold the power a little longer at the top. There's definitely no reason at all to use them now.

Better cams than crower 3's? What are these better cams you speak of, please share! Stuff like this needs to make it's way into the NA Performance library.

Skunk2 Stage 2, Skunk2 Pro 1 and 2, Jun.

The S2S2 mid/vtec lobe I believe is the same profile as the Jun.

I don't think I've ever seen the Pro1 do better than the Pro2. Might only want to look into it for usdm stock compression, even then the Pro2 might be better. Research it. I hate to direct anyone to another site, but there are a lot of dyno's/tests of all these cams in the All Motor forum of Honda-tech.

Anyone in the market for the crower stage 2 cams and valvetrain?
