1)  Crate Motor Bracket for Quick Cam Checker  Thanks to all who stopped by our booth at the PRI Indy trade show, Dec 7-9.  Our Quick Cam Checker was getting a lot of attention from track tech inspectors, to find cams out of spec for particular track rules, like the popular "crate engine rules".  One new feature we're offering is a bracket to quickly install the lift sensors on the popular Chevy crate motors, as described below.

Part number QCC-CM6  Adapter to mount the Quick Cam Checker's valve lift sensors on the 602, 603, 604 GM Chevy crate motors.  Remove the rocker arms and it quickly mounts directly on the pushrods for better accuracy, and eliminates the errors of hydraulic lifter leak down.  This is a very handy tool for track tech inspectors for the 602, 603, 604 GM Chevy crate motors.

The Quick Cam Checker has been around for a couple of years, and is used to find out the specs of a cam already installed in the motor.  The main advantage of the Quick Cam Checker is it is quick.  There is no need to pull the distributor, install a degree wheel, or find TDC.  That is all done automatically, quickly, and very accurately using advanced technology.
