Skunk2 cam gears

I was having issues lining up my skunk2 cam gears so I used the factory cam locks to lock cams in place, installed stock cam gears took a picture, then immediately removed oem cam gears (cams still in exact same location) installed skunk2 cam gears took a picture and below is the result

I found they line up pretty good at about + 4 degrees on both cams

So it looks like these are knock offs from my research

Did you buy them new? If so, where from?

Ebay seller advertised as new, I received an open box, some light scratches on them. I was a little upset at first but I was like ok no big deal....I only paid $200 Just got off the phone with a online racing shop that I have a good relationship with The owner was straight up and said he cant even get them for that price. Ebay Seller offered to send me another set but wouldn't issue a refund so I know hes full of ****. Also His feedback was good until today another Ebay buyer reported him as selling knock offs

The issue with the cam gears is the marks are off, also you cannot advance them past 7 degrees advanced as the slots are not big enuff, you can retard them to 10 degrees giving them 17 degrees of adjustability instead of the 20 degrees they should have (you can see this if you look at the pics when I have the cams set to 0 the bolt is not centered in the slot.)

Filed a case with paypal sounds like I will get a refund. I was able to set them to 0 degrees and make my own marks (using cam locks so I know cams are in correct position). Still dont trust them, so Im just gonna put OEM back in, Im getting it tuned in a few days. I can get a pretty good deal on the real ones through the shop I mentioned earlier. Just gonna get tuned on OEM for now

I purchased a set just like this. Advertised as opened but never used, take them back off your engine. Mine wore out due to overly soft material used and tossed aluminum shavings all in my timing cover and wore out my timing belt.

Save yourself the hassle.

Their fake. Send them back. I was dumb enough to buy a "used" AEM fuel rail. Advertised as used, and had a couple small defects. As soon as I opened the box I could tell it was a fake. Emailed the seller telling him it was a fake, and he sent me a shipping label and a full refund.

Also, I bought my skunk2 pro gears in PERFECT condition for $150 of a member here.
