I saw that and was kind of wondering the same thing. I asked and was told:
"intake- 10.4/264 - exhaust- 10.1/272" and it is for two cams.

because they are dirty cheap and coming out of taiwan. not talking trash, just how it is.

we were offered the cams to sell as well, but chose not to, for a variety of reasons.

well then do u just a set of used cams over new ones. i just think its kinda weird buying used cams or any internals or that matter.
skunk 2 has worked really well in hondas and their skunk 2 RSX is the *****. unless these are know-off skunk cams, ill still be curious.

Look out, Skunk2 just had a bad batch of Honda B-series cams go out, something is wrong with the size of the key slots and it basically chews itself larger and larger until it gets completely loose and of course your timing will go all to shlt.

sounds fishy skunk2 is big with acuras and hondas but does make products for other car companies. i picked up buddy club cams for 450$ for both on Gruppe-s.com id go with them or hks.

Because it's a black mark against the company and shows their lack of proper quality control at a manufacturing level. Why would you buy cams from a place who just had a major defect when you could buy some HKS sticks which in 20+ years of production have never been shown to fail or not meet expectations?
