I have a few sets of crane rockers and never had any problems with them I have also used there springs. Sucks to see a company like that go under again a sign of the times. Hope they get it worked out

Kind of Blew me away. I tried to call my guy at crane and nothing but the answering machine. If you want a new cam you better buy ut now because Crane makes about 95% of the cam blanks used by custom grinders and other cam makers around the world. They build just about every house brand cam on the market today so I can't see it folding up without someone scooping up Crane. I know they build cams for Summit, Trick Flow, Edelbrock, Ford, GM, Harley Davidson, Chrysler, Mercury Marine, FRPP, Wolverine, and a gazillion other house brands. I wouldn't be surprized to see Vic Edelbrock jump in and buy Crane Cams.
I'm floored over this one and I thought nothing could surprize me.

That's too bad for a USA company!! ...you may have not used them, but it's still good to support a long time american company!
I had used a crane cam & rockers over the years...Will be missed!

I wonder what all the custom cam grinders will do for cores? This is bad news for sure because they custom ground Valkyrie and GoldWing cams for me. I have like 4 sets left and nobody else will do it. I sell cam head packages for that bike and I had no warning they were shutting the doors. I'm hoping it's just a temp thing that is resolved.
sold the car today...time for a sig change

I hate to see this go down. I don't want to see any USA company go down. I can only hope that someone " USA " picks up the slack. I can't repeat it enough how much I don't like it. I think it is bull $hit. Then one part of me asked myself, I wonder what the CEO and other upper management personnel was getting paid?
