Default Buddly Club IV Cams Defective?

hey guys,

Anyone heard of a suspect batch from buddyclub on the spec 4 cams?
for a b-series motor?

There were rumours they had a defect batch at one stage that made minimal power? How true is this?

If there was not a rumor before, there is now.
I have not heard that one.

What was the gist of it?

With regards to the topic, i have heard this before, but never documented it to be true for myself.

Both of my Spec 4's said "A" on the ends. I've never heard of them having a "4" on them. I've heard this rumor before about there being two different sets. The other batch of Spec 4's said "B" on both ends I believe. Seems fishy and suspect to me. When I began my search for a set, I insisted on a set that said "A" on both ends just to be sure. The A's sure as hell make power, but can't vouch for the B's.

Well being as it was a rumor started by TBone (I believe)...there must be something behind it. It doesn't make sense to me why there are two totally different labeled Spec 4's....the "A" sets and the "B" sets.
