IMPROVED HYDRAULIC ROLLER LIFTERS
The engineering and manufacturing teams at industry leader Crane Cams have taken many of the important attributes found in the firm’s racing rollers and incorporated them into a new generation of hydraulic rollers for street applications. Benefits include straighter tracking, increased durability and higher RPM potential when a very stable valve train is employed.
Visually, the differences between these and the previous generation are striking. The lifter bodies are fully CNC machined from 8620 billet steel and feature an improved surface finish. Heat-treated steel guidebars with a Monel rivet and flange retaining system further add to the durability of Crane’s hydraulic roller lifters.
A precision-valved plunger assembly optimises RPM potential, while a heavy-duty roller wheel and bearing assembly track true, thanks to the lifter body’s strength and superior guidebar system.
Retrofit hydraulic roller systems are available for small and big block Chevy, Ford and Mopar applications, as well as replacement models for engines originally equipped with hydraulic rollers.

Cam Break-In Procedure
Due to the EPA’s mandate for zinc removal from most motor oils, proper flat tappet camshaft break-in procedure is more critical than ever before. This is true for both hydraulic and mechanical flat tappet camshafts.
As a point of interest, the most critical time in the life of a flat tappet camshaft is the first 20 minutes of “break-in” during which the bottoms of the tappets “mate-in” with the cam lobes.
350+ NEW CAM PROFILES FOR 2011
Crane Cams has developed over 350 new camshaft profiles for 2011. The new designs are part of Crane’s industry-leading database, which includes in excess of 80,000 profiles.
