Default Do ITR CAMS in general wear down?

well I'm getting some ITR cams for my B16 and wanted to know IF it would be OKAY to bt some used ITR cams?

I have heard of some people telling me that all cams were down. If that is the case then I'll be getting NEW itr cams.

Also if they do wear down wouldn't it be BENIFICIAL for ITR owners to get new cams every say..........100,000 miles?

If you are in doubt measure the cams to see if there are within factory tolerances. I'm sure there is some wear, but I don't think the power difference will be negible unless the cams out of specs.

Also, how old is your B16 ?

i just took my stock cams out not too long age and with 53,000 miles they still looked like they were in good shape. granted i didnt measure them, but there was no obvious signs of wear
