Wich camshafts??

JUST TO SAY THERE WAS NOT THE CAMS OR THE VALVE SPRINGS WHO CAUSED THIS PROBLEM!!!!

I have had a serious problem with my car this year.
I run brian crower 288 cams, all exhaust valves has min leeks after just a few miles.
Changed all valves to new ones and tried again with the same result.
There is no marks on the pistons or either the valves.

It must be the cams that are the problem i'll guess.
Or is it just cheap valves?

So i'm thinking of kelford 280 cams!?

My setup is (evo3)

Manley i-beam rods
Wiseco hd 8,5:1 pistons
Fully ported head
1mm os stainless valves (35intake 31,5exhaust)
Jmf drag version intake manifold with att bbk 1503# trottlebody
Precision hp6262 turbo

If i posted this in the wrong section please redirect me.

Id say either its a bad cam and the lobes are to big to where they dont alow the valves to close even when there suppose to. Or you have bad valve seats.

I think you need to find and fix your problem first before you start changing parts.

Forgott to tell that one rocker arm fell off on one of the exhaust valves.
I'll guess that the cam must be the issue.
Extremepsi will get the kelfords late this week..
549$ is affordable.
