This is a Proform 1.7 that i just bought when i had my new engine. This really makes me mad. I was driving home, and Clunk. took out a cylinder!! dammit i had to drive home on 7cylc. oh whell im gonna call them and see what they can do, in the meantime, what brand should i buy where this wont happen again? thanks. oh i have ped mount heads, and cam says i need 1.7's. thanks

Is Proform Chinese? If so, that explains why it happened.

I have Scorpions and I love them. They are very bulky though and will not fit under stock valve covers. You need Fox valve covers for them to work.

Comp also makes very nice products as well.

I agree 100%!! Stay away from that made in china crap. We have enough out-sourcing as it is. Keep the money in America!!

Yea those pro-forms are junk.. Get some scorpions or some other big name brand.

 

[OrangeMustangGt]

From the looks of your pic, up by the bolt head appears to have had cracks on both sides....hmmmm, notice the discoloration, like a fracture line...

Damn...that blows..

I see you already ordered new rockers, but Comp Cams makes stainless steel roller rockers that are lighter than aluminum rockers. CAD and computer modeling are wonderful things. Stronger AND lighter.

CompCam Pro Magnum

[Dan95-5.0]

pro-forms are garbage. i knew a guy who went through 4 sets on a small block chevy.

get some crane cobra's or a set of comp cams.

 

[mytight95]

[wytstang]

[WHITE94COBRA]

One vote for comp pro magnum 1.6's They are awesome a little louder than stock but awesome.

I haven't had much experience with any other cam/valvetrain companies, but I really like the Crane 1.7 rr like Ford put on the Cobras. Crane also has a great customer service line. They've helped me out twice with mine. They fit under my 94 5.0 valve covers also (I was NOT expecting that!!They are pretty beefy). Sorry about the problems dude!!
Check out Crane's website, they have a lot of good tech info there too!!

It really doesn't matter where they are made. What does matter is the origin of the metal. I work in the aerospace industry, and non-US supplied metal is crap.

I also run the Comp Pro Magnum and love them.
