Hey Guys,

As the tittle says,

Only reason I'm asking is due to Buddy Club is made in Taiwan

Brian Crower is made in USA?

Can someone confirm this for me please.


Both stage 3 full head rebuild.

Amant

Reliability and power out.
ATM I have got a set of buddy club cams, cam gears retainers and vavle.

Cousin is willing to pay me retail to take it off my hands as im strap for cash atm, trying to fund a holiday lol.

Just wondering if I should let it go and pick up Brain crower set. My car is booked in Mechanic's this Thursday.

Brain crower is like 1/2 the price. Saving me a fair bit of mullah

Also i know this is a double post, but I'm very interested in this.

Is it Viable to buy a b18c2 do head work (cam gears, cams, retainers, valves and what not) say Buddy Club or Brian Crower

And use B18cR Pistons wit ARP head studs and Rod bolts? I assume stroke and bore are the same since its still a b18

And make the same power as a b18cr would similar works done to it.

Keep in mind that B18cr or B18c7 set you back 3-4k where as the b18c2 will cost approx 1.5 - 2k (just the motor)

Take into account that your car already has a b series inside.
