Default Important news about CRANE CAMS!!!! READ READ READ!!!

They are officially back in business, they were bought by a well known motorcycle company, so the first thing on their list is to keep the ignition part of the company up and running. Second will be making more valve train accessories for the motorcycle industry but they will also be making some automotive stuff. Once they get all squared away they should be back to normal. No date on when they'll be completely back to normal but its good that they're back (hopefully they fired the last guy that made their catalog ).

I'm pulling for them. I hate to see American auto industry companies going belly up.

They went under in April, so this has been some time "underwater" for them. I hope they can get back up and running in time to keep most of their good workers.

I agree. I pride myself in buying as many American Made parts as I can, in hopes that things like what had happend to Crane wont happen.

When Foreign Company's start Flooding the market with Cheap parts, stuff like this can happen( Not saying this happend to Crane). Quality is Piece of Mind
