OK....
So, I just bought/received a supposedly "new in box HKS 272 exhaust cam" from a member on EvoM.

First thing I see... is signs of use/wear on the lobes of the cam. Seems like minimal wear, however the seller stated "New in box on the thread"

Can anyone from the pictures I posted tell me if this is a REAL HKS 272 Exhaust cam for the Evo 8/9 (exhaust cam is same for both Evo 8 / 9).

Thank you in advance!




Holes in the cam


Number inscribed on the rear side of the cam shaft


Number 3 inscribed on the other side


bottom of the camshaft there is another number inscribed: 601061134


Front of the camshaft:

 

I'm at work and can't see the pictures, however if it is really an HKS cam then it would say HKS in big letters on the end closest to the cam gear threads. I have run several sets of used cams in my Evo and I have no problems with it. Just check for any unusual marks or damage. However if these where sold to you as "New in Box" I would ask for a refund and send them back unless you can agree to a partial refund from the seller.

Looks like someone sold you their stock cams and repackaged them in the HKS box their new ones came in.

Time to do a stop payment on that check.

 

^^^^ could not say it better myself.

 

post the name of the seller so I can stay away from him/ her!

Someone pulled a switcheroo on you. I have also seen a pair of HKS camshafts, and I thought it was labled on the cam twice.

 

i know the stock oem cams are hollow. If this is actually oem used stock cams and not the hks, you have been misled. who was it?

 

If that's the case, that's hilarious... The stupid things people will do to make a buck.

 

What was the seller's name?

 

yup, those are stock, just looked at mine...there is a big HKS logo incribed on the end of the cams

 

it MUST say hks on it... those look like stock cams... you better stop the payment...

 

Wow that is ****ing ****ty!

 

dang bro that sucks, if u used paypal or check or watever u used, better call ur bank and stop that payment NOW

 

Who was the seller? sorry to hear about that bullsh*t

 

let us know the seller's name...and be sure to stop payment! looks like stock cams to me...

if its HKS...it says "HKS" on the cam...
