looks to me like sombudy just scratched on them to make them look like ones.

 

good question because i just bought a set and it dosent look like that mine just say h08 and its ingraved a lot more then that but then again one could be a older set the nthe other

 

these are the ones i bought and now im not sure they are skunk 2 cams they dont look like oem cams though so they are some king of after market cam but not sure if its skunk 2 stage 2

 

I've never understood threads like this. Why would you not call S2?

 

Skunk2 to the rescue!

Negusjua's camshafts look exactly like those we are currently selling. The S2 cast into the core between the lobes is a dead giveaway as that is very difficult to fake unless you are actually casting your own camshafts.

The OP's cams on the other hand look to have been etched with an electric pencil which could be done by anyone.

OP if you would like to email BrianN@skunk2.com with better pics of the lobes as well as any other markings I will attempt to determine if they are just very old versions of our camshafts or not. My first instinct after seeing the pics you have up now is that they are not ours.

 

cool thanks for the info

 

the top cams look like skunk2 stage 3's to me, I had a set in my b20v I had a while ago. do the say s10ex on one and I can't remember the other one, but mine had engravings just like the op's.

 

4 first pictures are the pictures of the cams that the seller is trying to sell me and the 2 last pictures are the pictures of my cams in my car.

Both have the same stamping.

 

ya, someone is trying to rip someone....

 

yah i would deff say it looks like someone is trying to pawn off those cams as something there not. Who is this person trying to pawn off those cams, so we can beware of buying from them?

 

I just don't understand why people don't do it right the first time. If you invest in a good product like a Bisimoto camshaft, you wouldn't be going through such headaches.

 

Maybe they're reground stock cams?

 

i would just stay away from whoever is trying to sell them to you, and inform others to be careful too. they look too sketchy to be skunk2's

 

The old Skunk2 Stage 2 cams have the "M" and the "2".

 

yea i was gonna say i have seen people post the old skunk2 stage 2 cams and they have the m and 2 stamps thats why i thought my cams were fake but those look like skunk 2 cams weither they are stage 2 i dont know because i think my stage 1 have the same m and 2 stamps

 

looks like a fake cams

 

im emailed brian at skunk2 with the pictures, Its nobudy here on HT thats trying to sell me these cams.

He bought the cams in like 2007 or so.

Im having a REALLY hard time geting real skunk2 cams, its been 2 guys in a row try to pass me off cams that i think arnt skunk2.

 

i have a set of real tuner 1 for sale if ya want em

 

i need tuner stg2

 

yea thats why i bought my tuner 2 now i just need to get rid of my tuner 1 im curious though what cams are those in your pics thats in the motor

 

I have also been sold a set of fake stage 1 tuner cams. I realized they weren't the real thing when I used a digital micrometer and measured the lobes and realized that the lobes on my B16A2 cams are more aggressive....

 

Yep, measure the lobe - base curve * the rocker ratio (1.55) and that will tell you a little something. That isnt actually true lift (due to valve lash clearance), but it will get you an indication if they are 9.2mm or 12.0mm.

 

Is this a joke? People can try to pass off forged Bisimoto cams as well you know.

 

Well it turns out they are skunk2, Just really old ones. But then it turns out the cams in my car are also skunk 2.

 

win win?
