I paid $462 at Summit when I got them and they were well worth it.
No big deal, I took a chance so I could save the next guy a buck, but now I wont recommend them, and certainly not put them on a motor I put my name on

This was more than me not having luck though, I worked with Crane for a couple of months, then sent them to their engineering guy, to include dimensional data for Harland Sharp and Dove/Comp so they could compare.

Who knows, maybe they made some changes on later sets, because the ones I had sure wouldnt have worked for you, and the wear was horrible just turning the motor over.

The amount of time I had measuring and documenting for Crane, I should have got paid for the rockers, but I knew Ersons were better all along, I was just looking for a cheaper alternative for milder motors.
