2. Using the reference chart, locate your tire diameter (height) and rear end ratio, then read the RPM indicated.
2. Raise both rear wheels of the vehicle, with the transmission in neutral. Make sure that you support the
vehicle with safety stands and block the front tires. Make a reference mark on the driveshaft and on the
housing. Next, without rotating them, make a mark on both of the tires and the fenderwells. With a friend
watching the driveshaft carefully, rotate both tires at the same time exactly one revolution. The number of
turns the driveshaft makes indicates the ratio, i.e.,: 3½ turns = 3.5 to 1; 2¾ turns = 2.75 to 1; etc. You an also
use the above procedure the next time you have your vehicle lubed at the service station.
3. Many vehicles are equipped with overdrive-type transmissions. If this occurs, you must multiply your rear
end ratio by the final transmission ratio. EXAMPLE: You have a 3.23 rear end ratio and a .85 high gear in the
transmission: 3.23 x .85 = 2.75 final drive ratio.
2. If your engine has non-stock pistons, refer to the piston manufacturer’s catalog.
NOTE: If the cylinder heads are not stock, check to see if they have the same size combustion chambers. If not,
refigure the compression ratio. Milling the block or heads also affects the compression ratio. Contact a Crane
Performance Consultant for additional information.

ing to be clearanced for lobe clearance. Otherwise, the nose of the lobe will contact the head. Reduced base
circle (1.318”), that will work with either stock length valves plus a .050” thick lash cap (Ferrea C10011),
or with .050” longer valves. Lobe to cylinder head clearance should still be checked, particularily with the
.460” lift grinds. You must specify the base circle diameter when ordering. These camshafts will not be ap-
plicable to the Focus SVT engines, due to their unique cam phaser and cam position sensors.

1959-63 Super Duty engines (cylinder head casting numbers
540306, 544127, and 9771980) that were equipped with
1.65:1 ratio rockers.
We offer complete lines of hydraulic, retrofit hydraulic roller,
mechanical, and roller lifter camshafts and components for
these engines. The carburized steel retrofit hydraulic roller
and street roller camshafts are equipped with a cast iron
distributor drive gear and rear journal. These are noted by an
IG suffix (Iron Gear), allowing the use of a standard type
distributor gear for long term reliability.
The same camshafts are applicable to nearly all of these
engines. One unique exception occurred in the 1973-74 455
Super Duty, which had an undersize distributor drive gear on
the camshaft, and an oversize gear on the distributor. A
standard configuration camshaft can be installed in these
engines, as long as a standard gear is also installed on the
distributor. We did produce some of the small gear camshafts
during that era, and they were designated by an “SD” suffix
after the grind number.
There was also a totally unique 1969 “Race Only” Ram Air V
engine with tunnel port heads that incorporated a different
valve layout, requiring a special camshaft. If you are fortunate
to have one of these rare engines, we can custom
manufacture a tool steel billet roller camshaft for it.

emission controlled vehicles operated on highways or roads.
The Chevrolet standard alignment bar lifters are available in a normal dimensioned version, intended for
use with standard lobe lift and standard base circle diameter cams. When lobe lifts increase, and
base circle diameters decrease, our exclusive long body design lifters must be used to prevent the
lifters from dropping out of the factory alignment bars when on the base circle of the camshaft. This
would allow the lifters to rotate, causing severe engine damage. As these lifters are for engines
originally equipped with hydraulic roller lifters, special length pushrods are not usually required.
Our retrofit vertical locking bar lifters are available for non-hydraulic roller equipped engines.. They
can also be used in many applications to replace factory hydraulic roller lifters and alignment
mechanisms. No machining is normally required for the drop-in installation of these lifters, however
with differences in block castings and camshaft base circle diameters, care must be taken to insure that
neither the locking bar, or its attaching rivets, contact the block casting throughout their normal
cycles. If there is any interference, the block can usually be ground to provide the necessary clearance.
This should be checked prior to final engine assembly. When used in retrofit applications, special length
pushrods are required.
The retrofit vertical locking bar lifters are machined from 8620 steel billet, heat treated, and assembled
at our own facilities. Precision fit plunger assemblies are used to provide proper bleed-down rates,
permitting high RPM use in properly set-up engines. The additional inherent strength of the 8620
material also maintains greater stability in the lifter body, permitting more consistent operation in
very high spring pressure and high RPM applications, by keeping the plunger to body clearance
consistent throughout the operation range. Retrofit lifters also utilize our latest Monel pin and
retaining flange assembly to attach the guidebar, providing superior long term durability.

a To order spares, you may order any of these lifters in pairs by removing the -16 from the set part number and replacing it with a -2. For example, a 11532-16 set will become a 11532-2 when ordering one pair.
Another Crane innovation is our use of Bearing Focused Oiling. As many racing
engines do not have pressurized oil to the lifter bores, a method is needed to supply
oil to the bearing assemblies. This utilizes two passages in the lifter body adjacent to
the roller wheel, conducting the oil that is pressed out from between the roller and
the camshaft lobe to the roller bearings. There are no small passages that can clog,
and no engine oil pressure is sacrificed to provide this lubrication and cooling to the
needle bearings. Bearing, roller, and axle life is therefore extended by the benefits of
a continuous oil flow over these components.
ue to the proliferation of factory and aftermarket cylinder blocks (which may have
D
relocated camshaft locations, relocated oil galleries, changed lifter boss heights, lifter Horizontal Guide Bar — Crane Classic Design
bores of varied diameters and center-to-center distances, etc.), the manufacture and
selection of the proper roller lifter has also become more exacting. This listing includes most popular applications available
at the time of publication, but new items are being continuously released. We also offer custom roller lifters to suit specialized
block-camshaft-cylinder head combinations. Contact Crane’s Performance Consultants if you have any unique requirements.
ur Crane Classic design roller lifters are suitable for virtually all performance applications. Both the horizontal and vertical
O
locking bar versions are used throughout motorsports today. Our Ultra Pro-Series lifters feature maximized lifter bore contact
surfaces for less wear, weight removed from non-critical areas, increased body stiffness, and premium materials chosen
wherever necessary.
Upgrades to the Ultra Pro-Series lifters include carburized 8620 steel bodies, upgraded materials and metal processing for
VALVE TRAIN
the roller wheels, needle bearings, and axles. A new guidebar attachment system incorporates a retaining button in conjunction
with an aerospace quality Monel pin to provide superior clamping forces and resistance to wear. Extreme Spintron and
track testing has confirmed this configuration to be superior to anything else on the market today.
All machining, and assembly is performed at our own facilities, insuring absolute accuracy and total quality control. The
spring-loaded horizontal locking bar lifters have the unique feature of permitting cam changes without intake manifold
removal (providing a rev-kit is not used). Loosening the rocker arms and removing the pushrods allows the springs to pick
the lifters up away from the camshaft. The cam can then be removed and replaced in minimal time. This convenience is
especially helpful during dyno and on-track testing sessions.
We do not advise the use of oil restrictors with our roller lifters. Crane roller lifters are designed for use with normal oiling
systems. The needle bearings within are dependent on oil flow to provide lubrication and transfer of the heat generated by
today’s high valve spring pressures and increased rocker arm ratios. Particularly hard on these components are prolonged
periods of idling when oil flow is at a minimum but spring pressures are still high.
Whenever possible, standard pushrod seat height is maintained from the bottom of the wheel so that normal length pushrods
are used. In consideration of special geometry applications, the seat may be higher, or lower, than standard for best fit-
ment. These instances are noted in the application description where required. The pushrod socket radius is usually stock,
and any deviations are also noted in the application description.
Block machining is not normally required for the installation of these lifters (other than the lifter bore diameter options),
however with differences in block castings and camshaft base circle diameters, care must be taken to ensure that the lifter,
locking bar, and locking bar attaching rivets (where applicable), do not encounter any bind, or unwanted contact, throughout
their normal cycles. If there is any interference, the block can usually be ground to provide the necessary clearance. This
should be checked prior to final engine assembly.

e do not advise the use of offset pushrod seat roller lifters, when the pushrod
W
angle imparts rotational forces upon the lifter. Offset roller lifters are
acceptable for use when the pushrods are angled to the front or rear of the engine
(parallel to the camshaft). If the pushrods lean toward the left or right of the lifter
bores (as viewed from the front or rear of the engine), this will put severe loads on the
lifter guidebar and it’s attaching mechanism, which can lead to decreased reliability
and possible failure. When building a serious racing engine, it’s advisable to avoid
using offset lifters whenever possible. Offset lifters can also be responsible for
accelerated wear to the lifter bores, lifter bodies, roller wheel/bearings/axles, and cam
lobes. Plan ahead when choosing and preparing your cylinder block and heads, so you
can use centered lifters for best reliability.
With Crane Cams Ultra-Pro™ series of roller lifters, you might be wondering just which
series of lifters is right for your application. Listed below are some guidelines for mak-
ing the correct choice and getting “the best performance for your dollar”.
Crane Classic Design Crane roller lifters were developed when camshaft lobes were not
nearly as violent as today. They are ideal for street-rollers, many bracket-race type
applications and other racing uses where cam profiles aren’t as aggressive. Made of
carburized (heat treated) 8620 alloy steel, these rollers are capable of handling up to
240 lbs., of valve spring seat pressure in bracket race applications and up to 220
lbs., of seat pressure in endurance applications – providing the cam lobe profile is not
extremely violent. Open pressures exceeding 600 lbs., are not recommended for these
lifters. Crane Classic Design lifters feature high quality wheels and axles that “look alike”
lifters do not have. You’ll find that the materials, machining tolerances and overall quality
of Crane Classic Design roller lifters far exceeds lifters being sold for a lower price.
These roller lifters feature all the quality and durability you expect from a Crane Cams
product yet they are very economically priced.
Crane Ultra-Pro™ roller lifters are the ultimate in state-of-the-art, drop-in design
premium quality roller lifters! Empirical design and development techniques have
been used to eliminate any distortion effects of residual stresses resulting from the
heat treat process. Ultra-Pro™ roller lifters feature maximized strength; especially in
the axle support struts. This insures geometrically perfect tracking of the roller wheel.
Additionally, super-premium wheels, axles and bearings made from the finest grades of
alloy steels are used to conquer even the most violent cam lobe profiles currently
designed or anticipated for the next several years! These lifters represent the best
combination of lightweight, ultimate strength and reliability. They should be used
in all drag race applications with spring seat pressures in excess of 300 lbs., and open
pressures over 900 lbs. In addition, they should be used in any short-track circle or
endurance racing application where valve spring seat pressures exceed 250 lbs., and
open pressures exceed 700 lbs. Use Crane Cams Ultra-Pro™ series lifters when
absolute durability is necessary.
With Crane Cams Ultra-Pro™ roller lifters, engine builders can now be sure that they’re
using the absolute finest available, professional quality roller lifters for high-stress race
engine applications. Count on Crane Cams to give you a full selection of performance products with the best performance
for the buck and peace of mind for you.

It’s more important than ever to use the properly formulated oil for the initial break-in of your flat
faced follower camshaft and lifters, either hydraulic or mechanical. Oils specified for today’s hydraulic
roller engines no longer contain the additives necessary to provide the optimum environment for
sliding surfaces, especially for cam lobe and lifter interface of a flat face follower design. Fresh
rebuilds also need load carrying protection in lifter bores, distributor gears and valve guides. Even
in roller lifter equipped engines, this break-in oil is highly recommended and this oil’s additive package is
mandatory for flat faced follower designs. Crane Cams Break-In Engine Oil (Part # 99300-1) or Crane
Cams Super Lube (Part # 99003-1) must be used when installing a new Flat Tappet Camshaft and Lifters.

Crane Cams’ rocker arm stud/pushrod guideplate conversion kits enable you
to convert late-model Dodge and Ford V-8 engines with pedestal mount rocker
arms to an adjustable-type valve train without machine work or cylinder
head removal. These kits allow standard pushrods to be retained, in most
instances, as the guideplate uses a special composite insert that prevents
metal-to-metal contact. Each kit includes guideplates, guideplate inserts,
studs, stud installation nut, and complete instructions. (Rocker arms, adjusting
nuts, and pushrods are not included.) These kits are intended for mild performance
applications using hydraulic lifter or hydraulic roller cams, and are not

Rocker Arm Studs
Rocker Arm Studs
Crane’s screw-in rocker arm studs eliminate problems resulting from press-in studs
pulling out at high RPM and in high valve spring pressure applications. Made from
high quality alloy steel, Crane studs are precision machined and heat treated for
reliable operation with today’s valve train loading. Specially machined threads and
shoulder area assures firm and positive rocker arm support with minimum movement
or distortion.
T he 99148 studs are used to convert Chevrolet 60° V-6 80-94, 2.8-3.1L engines
with non-self aligning 10mm stud rocker arms to use adjustable narrow body 3/8”
stud rocker arms without cylinder head machining.
Note: Due to the increased width of the sprockets and chain, clearance must
be checked between the timing set and the block casting. Some applications
may require minor grinding of the block for clearance.

The rate of a spring is the force neces-

application than a short, stiff spring. A would probably idle a little smoother with higher vacuum, especially if a

s you can see from the example above, there are often different springs that can offer different benefits on the same cam
A
profile. Spring A offers good performance over a wide RPM range at a lower total valve train cost (this assumes that the
heads were not machined for screw in studs). Spring B offers the possibility of somewhat improved performance beyond
6000 RPM. The vehicle owner needs to decide what he wants from his vehicle and what he wants to spend.
I n all-out racing, we frequently see the need for different springs on the same lobe profile depending on the anticipated
RPM range. Frequently, circle track racers will run two different tracks with the same engine but with different rear end
gearing. Often there can be as much as 500-700 RPM difference in the top end engine speed between the two tracks. It is
not uncommon to find that the car runs better on the track with the lower peak RPM using a spring with a lower seat pressure
and softer rate. At the track where the engine runs to the higher speed, the engine needs more seat pressure and a stiffer
spring rate. Every combination of engine, chassis, and track is different. Significant performance improvements can often
be achieved by experimenting with valve springs. If you aren’t paying attention to your springs, the guy winning most of
the races probably is!
1) “FLAT FACED LIFTER” cam/lifter applications (Street & Street/Strip) seat pressures
2) “FLAT FACED LIFTER” Open pressures should not exceed 330# open pressure (sustained after spring break-in
for acceptable cam and lifter life.
3) HYDRAULIC ROLLER CAMS require higher spring seat pressures to control the heavier roller tappets and the more
aggressive opening and closing rates available to roller cam profiles.
4) HYDRAULIC ROLLER CAMS use higher open pressures to control the high vertical opening inertia of the heavier
roller followers.
VALVE TRAIN
a. Small Block applications need at least 260# for general driving applications up to 4000 RPM.
b. Moderate performance small block applications like 300-360# open.
c. Serious small block applications can tolerate 400-425#* open pressures and still expect reasonable
valve train life when top quality springs, pushrods, and lubricants are used.
d. Big Block applications need at least 280# for general driving applications up to 4000 RPM.
e. Moderate performance big block applications like 325-375# open pressure.
f. Serious big block performance applications can tolerate 450#* open pressure and still expect
reasonable valve train life when top quality springs, pushrods, and lubricants are used.
*Note: Open pressures in excess of 360# require the use of roller tappet bodies made of billet steel. Crane hydraulic roller
and solid roller tappets are made from heat treated steel billet to withstand the stresses of high-performance use. Most
stock hydraulic roller tappet bodies are made of cast iron and cannot tolerate high spring loads.
a. Seat Pressures are determined by valve/retainer weight, engine RPM and life expectancy of components
before replacement is required. Milder roller cams require 165# on the seat as an absolute minimum.
180-200# is common for most modest performance applications. 220-250# is common for most serious
sport categories and some circle track professional categories. Pro-Stock and Blown Alcohol/Fuel drag
applications use as much as 340-500# on the seat.
b. Open Pressures need to be high enough to control the valve train as the lifter goes over the nose of the cam.
Ideally, the minimum amount of open pressure to eliminate or minimize valve train separation is desired. Any
excess open pressure only contributes to pushrod flex, which can aggravate valve train separation. For serious
racing applications this can be determined only by experimentation and track testing. For general guidelines
we offer the following
i. Street/Strip performance with long cam/lifter life desirable, 350-450# open.
ii. Circle track and moderate bracket racing 450-600@ open.
iii. Serious drag racing and limited distance circle track racing 600# and more.

hen the valve spring is compressed until its coils touch one another and can travel no further, it is said to be in coil bind.
W
The catalog (pages 317–319) shows the approximate coil bind height for the various Crane Cams valve springs. To measure
this you must install the retainer in the valve spring, then compress the spring until it coil binds. Now measure from the
bottom side of the retainer to the bottom of the spring. This measurement is the coil bind height. (See Figure 1) This can
be done on the cylinder head with a spring compression tool in a bench vise, or in a professional valve spring tester.
sing Figure 1, subtract the coil bind height “B” from the valve spring installed height “A”. The difference “C” is the maximum
U
spring travel. The spring travel is usually at least .060” greater than the full lift of the valve. This safety margin of .060” (or
more) is necessary to avoid the dangers of coil bind and over-stressing the spring.
If coil bind occurs, the resulting mechanical interference will severely damage the camshaft and valve train components.

The lighter your valve train components, the quicker the engine will rev. Titanium retainers are
40% lighter than steel. All Crane titanium retainers are machined from certified American-made
bar stock. Beware of the recent influx of inexpensive “titanium” retainers. These are probably
made of inferior imported material, and will not pass certification standards.

Valve Spring Retainers
How to Use the Valve Spring Retainer Dimension, Retainer Height, and Spring to Retainer Charts
The following pages supply you with specific information on the various valve spring retainers, valve stem locks, and their
compatibility with the valve springs that Crane Cams offers. These parts can be used anywhere their physical size can be
accommodated, and where the resulting spring tension and spring travel is compatible with the camshaft, rocker arms,
and lifters. Different combinations of valve springs, retainers and/or locks can be selected to match your particular needs.
Retainer Dimension “B” fits into the I.D. of the outer spring;
Retainer Dimension “C” fits into the I.D. of the innermost spring.

NOTE: These recommended locks differ from competing conventional 10° locks and they increase the breakage strength of our Multi-Fit
titanium retainers by 25%. Also, many competing 10 degree locks vary in production from 9° to 11-1/2°. Because of the accurate, robust design
of Crane locks, they are incompatible with most competitors 10° retainers, and competitor’s locks won’t work with Crane Multi Fit 10° retainers.

NOTE: These retainers can be used with 11/32” or 3/8” valve stems with single keeper grooves provided that the appropriate conventional
10 degree valve stem locks are used: 99080-1 for 5/16”; 99081-1 for 11/32”; 99082-1 for 3/8”. See page 341 for +.050” and -.050” optional locks.
NOTE: The retainers are packaged in various quantities depending on the engine application. The suffix number (after the dash) in the part number indicates the quantity.
For example, part no 99944-16 would be packaged with 16 retainers. Consult the engine application pages or the numerical price list for the correct quantity suffix.
NOTE: See pages 332-334 for our new Retainer Height Chart.
ith this new listing, we are providing a measurable dimension that can be easily checked for the cylinder head and valve
W
combination you’re working with. No sample retainers or fixtures are needed. The Retainer Height dimensions listed indi-
cate the relationship of the outer step of the retainer that the outer valve spring sets against, with the top of the valve
stem lock groove in the valve stem.
I f the dimension on the chart is .000”, the outer retainer step, and the top of the lock groove are at the same height. If the
dimension is positive, such as .060”, then the outer retainer step is .060” above the top of the lock groove. If the dimension
is negative, such as -.040”, then the outer spring step is .040” below the top of the lock groove. Check the accompanying
drawings for a visual explanation.
T his will enable you to measure from the valve spring seat on the cylinder head, to the top of the lock groove in the valve,
then compare that dimension to your desired valve spring assembly height (see the Valve Spring Retainer Dimension
pages 330–331, and the Valve Spring to Retainer Cross Reference pages 335–337 for additional information). If you need an
assembly height that’s .060” higher than your measured dimension, check the listings for the applicable retainers for your
valve springs, and look for a height figure close to .060”.
T he standard height Crane Cams valve stem lock part numbers are listed with each diameter valve stem (where applicable)
to achieve these figures. Remember, most of our valve stem locks are also available in +.050” and -.050” heights (see pages
340–341), to extend the available height combinations that can be created.
The retainers are listed by material, then by lock configuration.
VALVE TRAIN
The valve stems are listed by diameter and lock groove configuration.
Certain unique specific retainers are listed using their usual valve locks, such as the Buick 11 degree, and the Ford Modular items.
We hope this will make choosing your components easier, and provide a more reliable valve spring retainer/valve stem
lock combination for your application.

Our steel billet heat treated Multi-Fit locks feature an increased outside diameter for additional
strength, durability and fatigue resistance. These Multi-Fit locks are highly recommended for
any high RPM, high valve spring tension, or heavy valve application prone to lock distortion
and retainer pull-through. The 7° taper actually provides more clamping force than wider 10°
taper locks and are the preferred choice of professional engine builders and racers. (Use only
with Crane Multi-Fit retainers).

Methods to Adjust for Proper Hydraulic Lifter Preload
There are several different methods for increasing or
