Sold a bad camshaft

Featured Replies

Look at this pic... Would you pay $350 for this cam? I sent it back and it came back with a new dowel pin. Same camshaft that had been returned with a broken shoulder. Help!

Who did you buy this from? Let us know so we can all avoid this obviously incompetent organization.

Could be one idiot at an otherwise worthwhile business. I'd call and explain what happened and ask them to call tag it and make it right. Email them a picture. If they don't respond well, then smear their name on the net.

Loren,

You sure get the prize for cam grief! I have to ask though, What company?

I received this cam and it was damaged. I sent pics to the grinder and he said to send the cam back and he would cover the shipping. I did. He simply took out the damaged dowel and replaced it. The cam sprocket shoulder is still cracked. He returned it yesterday with the new dowel. I sent him another pic and asked him if he would pay $350 for this damaged cam. I will wait until I get a final answer (or a new cam) before I divulge his name. He may not have done this modification. I am betting it was someone in his shop. We will see.

The owner is sending me a new cam. He said to destroy the damaged cam. I will let you know when I receive the replacement cam!

Good call on letting this guy make up for his mistake. I hope the new one works out better!

definitely cool he said he's going to give you a replacement.. otherwise that would suck! (for him, too)

I think someone in his shop tried to sell this camashaft with the crack. When I returned it per his instructions the same person tried again. Once He knew what I had, he said to discard the cam and he would send me a new one. He is a good person. I will see how he responds to his promise.
