TINY TINY CHIP on hks272 lobe.?
i just got a set hks 272's and they look pretty new except on one of the lobes it has a tiny tiny chip smaller then a pencil lead. Anyone think that would cause a problem or maybe it was a defect? The cams look in perfect condition besides the tiny chip that i just some how noticed because i looked at every single lobe.....

I don't know, cams spin pretty fast. A small chip may make the cam very weak and thus may develop into a crack later.
I would send it back as well.

A picture would help.
I would send it back regardless. You don't know how it got that chip. It could have been dropped, had something dropped on it, could be bent, you never know. When it comes to internals replacing is always better (and usually cheaper) than guessing.
The only other thing I could think to do would be take to it to a local engine shop and have them magnaflux it and mic it.
