Dropped my block, crank, and heads at the machine shop. The block is getting tanked and honed, the crank is getting micropolished and the heads are getting a valve job.

Having 2nd thoughts on BC anything...
There's a reason it's BC and not Crower.Originally Posted by AdamVR4
From what little I can find online about these, I just don't feel comfortable with it... Just shot IPS an email cancelling the order for BC springs & Ti retainers.

rise and rise again until lambs become lions
if you end up getting stuck with it, just run 'em.
Adam, I don't think the issue was with the springs but more the cams.

The cams are certainly more problematic, but they require a lot more manufacturing precision than springs and retainers. They probably would've been just fine... I just need to do some more cam/cam gear/spring research to feel comfortable with the decision...
I'm confused, what's wrong with BC (I assume you mean Brian Crower) stuff? If you are referring to the cam profiles being a bit wonky I'm not sure there is a proven cam manufacturer for our cars... I know Jack's wont install any regrinds for the 6G72. ABM knows more about that than I do. Isn't there a cam manufacturer that you can give them the specs you want and they will make them?
