Moderators, if you could leave this up as a sticky maybe for a month or so - PM me if you move it as this could hurt a company that is not closing so Crane customers here on TC need to know the truth, i am not a owner or employee of crane cams, just a customer - We have inside connections at Crane Cams and pulled strings to get some information - I want to show all of you guys the rumor that started then state the facts - here is the thread below from speedtalk.com, please do read it

Now here is an e-mail to me from a person very high up at Crane Cams i deal with i got this morning
We have one of the premier cam lobe designers here (David Bly) for over three decades, with new lobes produced continuously to stay on top of things. Finish ground camshafts go out daily to upper echelon teams and engine builders in all areas of motorsports. We did fall on hard times a few years ago. Since the Mikronite takeover, it's obviously taken longer to sort out than we would like, with deliveries sometimes suffering. Much new equipment is now here to increase production and make higher quality parts. Street is certainly a large part of our market, as is oval track and drag racing. The racing portion is steadily growing. We a very much in business, with a steady flow of orders arriving daily. We've been here 55 years, and intend on being around for decades to come.
Moderators, if this could be here as a sticky for a while that would be great - These are facts above in blue direct from Crane Cams, if any moderators would like the whole e mail i would be glad to send it as all of this is real actual information, not just something im posting
This rumor could steer people away from Crane Cams, The rumor is coming from a few other cam grinders that deal with Crane for camshaft cores as the 8620 {gold} cores come from Crane Cams - They are a major supplier of 8620 steel billet cores
