They don't have a real high quality look to them. But I bet they would work just fine. Look at your stock cams, you can see the wear marks from the rockers in them. Theres a good 1/8" of lobe left on each side that dosn't touch the rocker. The rough dges on your new cam would be well in the no contact area. If you put them in just turn them over by hand first and make sure.

I just snapped a couple pics of my cams to show you what I mean, about the edges of the lobe not touching the rocker.

well i think it will work fine but i'm just worring about the "sharp corner" coming off after a while of use.. and if that little piece remains in the engine... i'll call GSC and see what they think... anyone has similar problem?

I think it should be fine since its not in the contact path, but I would probably take a file to it just to be safe
