one is spelled F-A-C-T-O-R-Y and the other is an acronym meaniong Original Equipment Manufacture. which is a fancy way of saying factory

u mean the part where he says "factory cams are built by Rochester Products" then he says "Saturn OEM camshafts are built by Crane Cams"

its kinda confusing me too.... unless its from 2 different models or one is supposed to be crank not cam...

Here's a fun fact: Saturn seatbelt bolts in the back seat are rediculously difficult to remove without air tools.

the bolts are the same size as the lug nuts, use the car's jack handle and they come right out.
