Default 'snap'

I don't think cams are supposed to do this. This is the same brand of cams I have on my car. It snapped under a mere 7lbs of torque during installation. Granted he didn't put a wrench on the portion near the breaking point when he was installing the cam, but still, this raises some concern about having these cams on my own car. :o

Ugh, another Crower sob story. John and Joe can tell you the same thing about the Crower cams.
