You could always have them Checked out bro. The little pit on the lobe can probably be removed with some emery clothe or steel wool. I had some on my hks 264's and had my friend throw them on his lathe and with just some emery got them smooth again. As long as the seal isn't effected and nothing hits you should be fine. I would file them flat if possible. And bro tell me about it, guys on here don't seem to care anymore. My last few deals on here have been horrible. Guy sells me some Pistons and Rods says there perfect, just pulled from his friends car for upgrade. Ya more like just pulled cuz he lost compression in one cylinder. I start cleaning them up for the new rings and what do I see. 1 piston cracked all the way across the top and thru, was so pissed. Guy tells me that's what you get when you buy used parts. And you still have 3 Pistons! Uh hello what the hell am I supposed to do with 3 and why would I want to pay for someone's crap. Sorry guys not a good day for me and again sick of getting ripped on here. If your not a real Dsmtuner get out!!! haha just remember the carma
Seems that those cams have been problematic for a while but why? My guess contamination of original billet during casting. You can continue to patch via welding ect they will continue to develop issues.Well the seller just got back to me. He said that he bought the cams used. When he installed them they had side to side play. So he sent them to delta to be checked out. He said he paid delta to have them fixed. He said he ended up buying another set of cams while delta fixed these. He said I can either send them back to delta or get r

Honestly I personally would never go with a Kelford cam, I just have a hard time justifying spending all that money on a cam when the manufacturer isn't advertising duration properly (at the correct lift spec etc) when every other company does. I would have bought gsc s2 cams for my car had I not found a set of fp4r cams. Then again, I am also running a 2.0 6 bolt engine whereas you might be more inclined to grab a 280 duration cam (which honestly is not a bad idea at all if you actually have a 2.4l G4CS block/crank).
