Default Crane Cams closes shop
Its a bit of a shock to anyone who has built engines or involved in racing.

Crane made cams for Lycoming, hopefully they have a new source lined up.

That's not good. I've bought a few products from them over the years.

I hate to see companies that have a great product be the victim of a bad economy.

That sucks big time! Last I knew, Lycomings roller cam/tappet set was designed by GM, I don't know if GM made them or not.
