Hello everyone,
I bough these Cams online and when I received them, as you can see on the images there is a little chip on one of the cams ( intake ) but all the lobes are ok, I just wanted to make sure to see if its safe for me to install the cams ? Ill greatly appreciate your advice in advance.

 

personally man i wouldn't chance it yea they might be just fine but you paid money for it and who knows even something so small can ruin the structural integrity of it i personally exchange them

 

hope you can get your money back I would not put them in my car

 

Thanks everyone for the heads up, it sucks being a newbi to the Evo world lol

I have them for sale now haha,

 

get your money back!!

 

well cant you just send them back for replacement ones i dont know of very many ppl that are gonna jump on messed up cams and you wont come close to getting what you paid for em i would call the ppl you got them from

 

Id Have to agree with everyone and say get ur money back!!!

 

the sad part is i got them off of a guy on craigslist now his not answering his phone or getting back to me so looks like i am screwed. do you guys think that maybe i can find just the intake cam by itself or they always come together???

 

You didn't inspect them before giving the guy cash? He is definitely not going to respond now man and goodluck getting rid of them but I doubt anyone will buy them.

 

he send them to me. o well you learn from your mistakes unfortunately mine was a bit costly lol. lets say i find good cams do i need to change the springs and retainers or stock will do if im trying to keep the RPM around 7500?

 

i would do alot of research in that are there are so many great threads on hear it all depends on what brand and size cam you get not all 272s are the same or 264s they have diffrent lift like the JUN 272s are way more aggressive as opposed to the HKS 272s you have to take alot into consideration and yea with any thing above a stage 1 cam i would recommend new springs and retainers IMHO

read that before doing anything i think its a great write up and he took allot of time to make it it helped me allot and i can say enough do research before doing anything cuz you can destroy a car with going about things the wrong way

 

thanks everyone i really appreciate your help. ill be back for more questions. LOL

 

How did you pay for the cams? You said he shipped them? Paypal?
