Regrinds are limited in their profiles. They also wear a lot more quickly than a new billet cam.

Would it easier to brittle or damage?

They wear more quickly, meaning that in a year they will no have the same lift and duration as when you buy them. Always go with new billets.

The only thing that wears down is the valvetrain. Not the actual cams, They are still OEM cams!! and I dont think that stock cams wear out.

Actually a to make a rgirnd cam they wel more material on the lobes of the cam. Otherwise you wold anly be able to make a cam profile smaller. Thats why hey wear faster. The welded on material is softer.
