NEW CRANE ZCAM™ CAMSHAFTS
AVAILABLE FOR CHEVY LS1/LS6
These new computer-designed hydraulic roller camshafts now available for Chevy LS1/LS6 engines are engineered to increase the area beneath the lift curve, which accelerates valve events and enhances flow. Available profiles range from a mild 200/208 degree (at .050” lift - 262°/270° advertised) .502” gross lift to a ground-thumping 236/240 degree (at .050" lift - 298°/302° advertised) .600" lift model. Custom grinds also available.
They are a dual pattern design, with optimized intake and exhaust lobes. Another advantage of Crane’s new Zcam™ line is its ability to work in concert with Crane Quick-Lift™ rocker arms.

NEW CRANE ULTRA-PRO ROLLER LIFTERS
TREATED WITH MIKRONITE® PROCESS
Crane Cams has raised the bar in valve train technology through employing the Mikronite® process to enhance its industry-leading Ultra-Pro Series 8620 Alloy Roller Lifters. By treating the lifter body critical lifter-bore friction is reduced, while the process also serves to strengthen the lifter body by increasing the “residual compressive stresses” in the surface and near-surface substrate. The Mikronite® process also creates a pattern of minute “channels,” which promotes the capillary distribution and adhesion of lubricants—reducing friction, wear and noise.
