you get what you pay for.. I would assume these cams are a set of skunk 2 cams that didnt pass quality control when they were made. I personally wouldnt take the chance of putting something like that in my motor. Just go out, spend the extra money and buy a real set of cams.

Hell even a used set would be better than something that could petentialy not work properly.

Spend the extra money, or possibly learn the hard way like I did. Before I really knew anything about Honda's I built a gsr motor with ctr pistons, skunk2 valve train and a portflow head, and went cheap with some off the wall brand cams.. the cams seized up and not only ruined the cams but the bottom end was also ruined. Pay the price, and get quality parts.. It's cheaper to in the long run
