HKS 272 cams?
Im selling my 272 cams to my friend but I noticed only 1 cam has HKS stamped on it.... is it normal for a set of HKS cams to only be stamped on 1 cam?

Both should be marked HKS if they're VIII cams, but I believe the 272 MIVEC intake cam is not.

They do not necessarily have to be stamped with HKS. There should be an engraving with a part number. If you could supply that information we could possibly confirm what kinda cams they are.

Guessing competition beats these HKS's after someone decided to do dyno tests on them against others.
