I purchased a set of used Pro 2 cams off marketplace a week or so back. The intake cam looks as it should (at least from what I expect), but the exhaust cam looks odd to me. On the back side of each vtec lobe there are is a dip just before the base circle. I don't know much it matters considering how violently it looks like the lobe opens the valve ( I can't believe how steep the angle is). Is this normal wear for these things? Like I said, I see no dips on the intake cam at all. Everything looks to be smooth.

 

Dips? are talking about the fine scratches that are there or the grooves in the cam that seperate the lobes? Or the little nicks on the edges?

 

The cams are damaged, ask for a refund.

 

The dips are right before the the lobe goes back to the base circle.

 

Well that is upsetting to hear that they're damaged. I will contact the seller about these I suppose.

 

were these in a h/f series engine

 

These are the b series cams.

 

Get your money back on those.

 

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have contacted the seller, and he has been very cooperative. Will be in the market for yet ANOTHER set of Pro2's it looks like

 

They can be repaired BUT if a refund is an option I would certainly go that route first.
