GSC S3 cam broke
really?
you dont have to silence people just because something bad has happened.
He's just reporting on real life experience, and as everyone is replying, we need more info to work out what happened.
This is a forum, so that exact reason.
once more information has come to light, i'm sure MAP and GSC will come to the party and we'll get this sorted

is it so bad to ask for some proof to said claim? If he posted pics we could better understand what really happened
Once again, if your MIVEC cam oil hole slots are machined with a square groove like the profile on the left, don't install them as they will break. The newer revised cams should have a nice radiused oil groove.

I can't believe I missed all that, makes me want to get rid of the M2's I got now. They have been in the car for 2 years or so now. Guess it's time to check them out again for any signs of damage.
i'll have the pics up today. I didnt think it would have went up 3 pages my bad for not checking. I have install cam so many times I cant count them and going off the book as well just so I wouldnt mess anything up. I guess stuff happens.
Sounds to me like you were tighting down the cam caps with the cam not seated correctly. The extra tension on the cam can cause the shaft to snap (it is a cast shaft). I haven't seen or heard of an issues with the I4 cams having a problem on install, but i will tell you the longer I6 (2JZ or RB) cams we have people break them all the time on install. Please give me a call on monday and we will get you a single intake cam.
