Well...here's the story, I bought a set of "HKS 272 Cams" from a fellow evom member here. Well...after all kind of drama, he send me the cams instead of a refund. I was getting the refund because these cams were sold to another EvoM member. But one way or another...he send me those cams.
This is what he said:
It's a long story. basically some kid offered me like 500$ for the cams and i got greedy but he wanted them overnighted blah blah blah. but they're on their way to your place. i'd really appreciate it if you'd drop the dispute
///end///
Me:
Well, so let's me get this straight. So kid offer you a lot more money but you didn't wan to ship them over night. You never mention anything about shipping them via USPS until the e-mail I just read.

It took you a few days to ship is because you said you were working on your car (I still got the PM.)

I spoke to the other buyer and he told me the reason why he backed out. The day he backed out you send me the cams ...seems fishy to me.

I should get the cams by tomorrow and if everything's cool, the claim will be dropped.

So, my question now is...are those cams are indeed HKS 272s for an Evo VIII. I don't want to start putting them in and they're not what they're described to be. Then I might have to take further actions if it does any kind of damage to my car.

His reply:
K here's the deal about the cams. THEY ARE HKS CAMS! but they are OLD SCHOOL EVO VII cams. everyone here knows they have the same motor and everything. They were bolted into my car. everything lined up perfectly. they have the exact same LIFT and DURATION.
///end///






I got the cams today...I attach some pictures. No where on the Cams stamped HKS. There are no marking on the cams what so ever. Anyone heard of "old school" HKS cams for Evo VII? Cause I thought they were the same. There's a "10886EX" on one of the bags the cams were in. But other than that...no markings anywhere.

So, I'm looking for you guys help and I'm going to contact HKS and see what they say. Also if any of you guys have pictures of your HKS 272 cams, please e-mail them to me at flyingwangwang@gmail.com so I can do some comparisons.

Thanks,
Ken

 

well one this is that, that box looks similar to the gsc box

 

I guess I should have mentioned...it came in HKS boxes. With the correct part number....

 

They don't look right. They look like some copycat cams. I have never seen a set of reputable cams that were smooth in between the lobes.

 

Look at the second picture you can tell they were ground down with something. These pictures just reek of bad news to me.

 

my thoughts exactly...thanks guys.
Keep them coming

 

Hks stamps "HKS" on them. You been robbed

 

the lobes look way to small to be HKS at least mine aren't so smooth im pretty sure HKS would stamp their name on their cams too
