Crane Gold Race Rocker Arms

[thatK30guy]

Whats your take on them?

IMO, I see them as "top of the line" for roller rocker arms. Anyone heard of pros and cons about them? Any disaster stories? Maybe theres a better brand?

Lets hear them.

I have crane rollers on my 406 and were on my 383 originally.Only problem Ive run into is clearance problems with the nuts holding my heads down because I'm running a stud kit.Ground a bit off the ones that were hitting and haven't had a problem.I do like the titanium ones and they are less bulky though they are expensive.

I have a gold set on my 454 and I'm very happy with them. I got them with the roller motor that was in my old K10 so I've had them for about 10~12 yrs now with no mechanical problems. They're getting to be high mileage / usage at this point so they're a little noisy now but I'm not scared of them or shopping for new.

I've always preferred CC products to Crane....

I saw the gold arms Comp makes. Pretty comparable to Cranes?

 

[ryoken]

I'd guess so.. that was just a statement in general... I have complete confidence in anything CC sells, outstanding company across the board..

I don't have any probs or issues with CC either. My K30 has a CC cam in it. Even the cam selections I've been looking at for future motors are all CC's. Just haven't found a suitable one from Crane.

how about Jesel? they make some pretty badarse rockers..... the sportsman shaft series is pretty sweet....

How's their pricing? I found the Crane Golds for under $300 brand new.

Jesel stuff ain't cheap... but it is super high quality... and keep in mind, we're talking 2 different styles of rocker.. stud vs shaft mount.. iirc, crane has a shaft style too.... the shafts always run more money from any of the manny's......

that's one thing Mopar got right back in the day, shaft mounted rockers...

but if it isn't a high revver, any of the stud styles should suffice...

i see cc has the ultra golds for $279, or the pro mag's for a little over 3...

I had Harland Sharp on my 468 that I built years ago. ATT I thought they were the best, so went with them. Think back then they were around $300, but that was over 10 years ago, I can't remember what I did last weekend....
