Somehow my Franklin Cams are deteriorating & cracking. The exhaust cam actually cracked causing my cam gear to become loose and unaligned. This sucks I really wanted to tune my motor with these Franklin 20v/N1's. There casting really sucks. O well N1's here I come. Nothing beats OEM for Quality.

The cam lobe cracked? Try and give them a call maybe they will replace it? or tell you to go kick rocks if it was installed wrong.

I bought them from Brain and when he sold them to me they were not bad. Knowing him he probably only put 500 miles on them and cleaned them every 100 miles. I put like 40,000 milies on them and the edges started eating away.

Call them anyway and let them know, or Email them. Calling will work faster since they are not in the cyber world as of yet.

They went to China to get the casting its closer than Japan

But the Intake Cam is all right and maybe I can still use it.
