Crane gone - no more affordable iron adj rockers?

Cranes ductile adj rockers have been an excellent low cost adjustable rocker arm for decades. (Adjuster bolt issue aside) Isky had some nice ones as well but theirs were much more expensive- the Cranes were/are around $200. Will anyone step up and continue to make them?

are you looking to buy some or just thinki9ng out loud ??

there is always offshore sourced alum roller tip units ...

Contact RAS for a set of bushed rockers with shafts,much nicer than the crane irons.

I have rune them in the past. I have no plan to run any currently. What is nice about them is their strength- ductile iron- they are tried and true and were affordable. My brother built a 512 with a roller cam .244ish @ .050 and he was gonna buy some rollers arms. I had a set of barely used Cranes I gave to him and 3 years later they have not missed a beat. (no broken adj either) You gotta admit, when the irons are used in their proper application they offer better bang for the buck over the higher priced 1.5 ratio American made roller rockers.

The Isky's were well worth the money compared to the Crane's.

Unless someone buys the tooling from Crane then they are gone. Isky stopped making rocker arms a long time ago which was too bad. I always thought the Isky nodular rocker arms were the best. Chrysler stopped making the MW rocker arms a really long time ago which was also too bad. Erson dropped their nodular rocker arms a few years ago and now Crane is out of business.

I had a chance to buy the Erson mfg equipment at a very inexpensive price but I just didn't want to get into that business. If I had known that Crane was going broke maybe I would've done it.
