my friend had crower cams in his h22, and one day, one of the cams snapped, when he took it out and inspected everything, he noticed that there was abnormal wear on the rocker arms and on the cams....he called crower, they gave him shitty customer service...

ok, I talked to Brian at Crower this morning ... The reason I got the regrind is that when I got it (ordered in May 04) there was no other cam option ... so now that I finally got around to installing the cam , still the only other option is a WEB regrind and maybe one or two others that noone has but they say are available (Zex- and I dont consider Gude an option) ... Brian said that they are in development of a cam for the D17, but its still 2-3 months away ... thats what they told kezay ( who sent in an entire block I believe ) 2 months ago, which means that either they have done nothing as far as cam development or the cams they have developed arent working ... Brian was very much willing to work with me on this and said he was willing to do what it took to make this right ...

and I just got off the phone with Zex and they DO NOT make a cam for the D17 ... they said they may be working on R&D on one but there is absolutely not one offered for sale ...
