Use of Synthetic Oils
Crower does not recommend the use of synthetic motor oil in any application, particularly in hydraulic and flat tappet camshafts. If your car manufacturer's owners manual suggests running synthetic oil, you may do so. The minimum gains in horsepower are offset by the excessive wear to cam and lifter surfaces. We have found that the benefits, of synthetic motor oil, do not outweigh the costs and may endanger your engine's life. Crower recommends a non-detergent / race only petroleum based 30wt. motor oil in all performance applications. The lack of phosphorus and zinc in current oil blends is catastrophic to engine longevity. For all applications we do recommend running our ZDDPlus additive, which adds zinc and phosphorus back into the oil. For additional information on oil, click here!

How do I measure a cam's base circle size?
Look at a cam lobe as if you were looking at an egg. Put the pointy end (the nose of the lobe) up, pointing to the sky, and therefore the fatter part towards the ground. Once you have done this, you want to measure the width of the cam lobe. With the nose pointing up you will measure the lobe horizontally. These 2 pictures should illustrate how to measure the cam's base circle size, correctly.
