I also have a high volume oil pump, Canton oil pan, windage tray, all that stuff.

The crane tech did mention that if you have high seat pressure and even if you have good oil pressure, idling at a low rpm, which street cars do, the lifters will not get enough oil to run the heat off. He summed it up, let it idle for 5 minutes...good bye motor.

They make valve covers with spray bars for a reason.

I will make my own spray bars, not going to risk my motor and all it takes is some plumbing.

some people could record this sound clip on CD and play it in their car as music just to hear how a car should sound That's exactly how my car sounded with true 3" duals and two short bullets mufflers. Awesome video

He summed it up because hes a salesman and wanted you to BUY stuff from him.

I have put over 3000 miles on my solid roller and I drive it everyday and I idle in traffic for 5 minutes or more atleast once a day. Engine is still perfectly fine.

Actually, this guy did not pitch a single thing to me. Nothing about buy our cams and you'll have no problems...nothing what so ever.

In fact, he told me about Comp Cams and their spray bar valve cover...maybe Comp and Crane are the same company?

He simply offered his advice to the questions I asked and mentioned numerous time what some of the best engine builders used.

Just my opinion.
