Hey I just won a crane hidrallic roller cam on ebay,and after I bought it I was wondering if i should have just went and bought a new one the cam has about 10,000 miles on it ,and it also comes with hi-drallic roller lifters and hardened pushrods.He says it has hardly any ware,and ran perfect.The engine I am going to put it in is a 454 bbc the part number on the cam is CRN-139651.I paid 500 dollers for this set up the cam has 632" intake 632" exaust would you run this?It looks really good and the guy seems really honest here is a pic. Thanks for looking and if anyone thinks i will have problems please let me know.

uhhh..... i hate to say this but you kinda got ripped off
if you look at the lobes on the cam they all have wear, and most roller cams dont have that much, but this one looks wore out

its kinda of a big cam for the street. what kinda heads are you using?

Ye i do see some wear but its going to have some right should i not go through with it

 

[mynuffinfutsitch]

personally i wouldnt,
cause you could get new for around same price
id also wait for a second opionion


what kinda heads are you going to use?
is this for racing or what?

if it isnt for racing, a hydraulic flat tappet cam is a WHOLE lot cheaper and it will last for ever if treated right

I disagree, you should follow through with the transaction. If you don't intend to pay you should have never bid. True it may be a little, or lot worn, but you got to see pics before you bid. So you had the chance to ask questions before as well.
Did you check his feedback? Does he have a bad history of selling stuff with inaccurate descriptions? All the things you should check before you bid. Don't bid if you don't intend to pay. :nono:
The seller is the one getting ripped here.

cam

If you won the sale you need to buy the item...

I am not sure exactly what your question is...Are you asking if the cam is ok to use??? or is it ok for "your" intended usage???? I have found that pictures always make any marks look 100 times worse then they really are. So you need to wait untill the cam shows up and you can see it in person and describe the condition to us...

That cam needs 10.0:1 or better static compression to work... It would not be a good choice for daily driver for the average person.

What is the intended usage for this engine????

you may or may not have to pay for it. If the item was presented in "good" or "perfect, like new!" condition, you should contest it if you feel its worn. Roller cams should not see much wear.

However, if the person said that its used, as is, you need to pay.

I`ve yanked stock roller cams out of GM engines that looked far worse than that and they still ran good and did there after, the cam looks to me like it has the normal scuff marks, and what was said about pictures is true, the shadow always makes it look worse.

i seen a ad with a 572 ci motor with the same amount of lift as this cam would it be to much for a 454. I have always heard you are better with not enough cam than to much
