    What is the best way to get in touch with Chase Knight , I know he works at Crane but does he have an extension or do you just call and ask for him ? .

    My friend had 3 cores reground by Crane recently, don't remember the price, so yes they can change it.

    Assuming that your lifter bore spacing is between 1.800 amd 2.000, the Crane 95542-16 lifters with standard height pushrod seat, or the 95543-16lifters with the .100" raised pushrod seat will apply to your KB block. I can be reached at cknight@cranecams.com or 386 788-1133 x4202. Regards, Chase

    I not real trilled with my cranes. BBC .903 Crane 13575 .210 offset lifters. 57 passes killed 3 lobes on cam, had to buy new cam. 300 seat pressure, >900 open. pretty radical NOS cam though but still 57 passes, come on!!! they said send them them back and they would inspect.

    I'm now installing the isky ez roll deal...we'll see how they hold up

    Just heard that the recievers have moved into Crane cams, is this true ? Will they still be trading ? or should i look elseware for lifters, if this is true its another great shame, I spoke to Chase Knight last week and he was very helpfull and a nice guy, i hope his jobs safe
