Crane Cams has long been known as a company that makes high quality, hard running, long lasting cams but they have officially kicked stuff to the next next level with the introduction of custom tool steel cams for ANY engine configuration. Yes, we said ANY engine configuration. This is a huge deal for anyone who has a racing engine that is a little outside of the norm, like we’ll see lots of at Bonneville where the stresses are high and every component needs to be absurdly strong.
The cams can be ordered one at a time, in batches, and with maximum flexibility meaning that they can be custom designed, run off of existing patterns, or modified versions of cams that the company already sells. Long story short, these are extreme duty cams for today’s extreme duty engines. The coolest part of the whole deal is that they will use this material for any cam that you can dream up for whatever application you have. So neat!
Crane Cams Rolls Out Custom Tool Steel Camshafts
Crane Cams announces new tool steel camshafts custom made to match any engine configuration. These cams can be built “one-off” to any linear spacing, journal size, firing order that you need. This service meets the demand for the incredible variety of design combinations created by the cylinder head and block manufactures of today. These are the ultimate camshafts for high performance and all out racing applications.
These new camshafts are made from a dedicated variety of tool steel using a through hardening heat treating process to create an extremely stable part that is resistant to surface wear, twist and deflection with the ability to withstand high surface loading and shock. These finish ground camshafts can be ordered to your specifications either one at a time, or in quantity. Once the cam core is produced, it is rough ground, through hardened, then finish ground to best suit your application.
If you can supply a print, a sample camshaft, or specify what modifications are needed to an existing product, we can produce a camshaft to meet your requirements. For unique applications, we maintain a proprietary relationship, making the camshaft exclusive to the customer. We are currently able to expedite delivery on these items, along with competitive pricing.
Note: Popular applications, such as Chrysler 426 Hemi and Johnson/Rodeck 481X cores are maintained in stock.
