Can you spot what’s wrong with this brand new Comp Cam?

Theres a flat spot on the ramp.

 

[Green72]

That's one way to have a lumpy cam

 

[toolmanmike]

I know crap like that can happen but how many people failed to catch that before packaging?

 

[Vitamin_A12]

Geez!

 

[HawkRod]

I had brand new rods that were too large on the big end, right out of the box. I had to recondition them.

I have learned to trust NOTHING when it comes to new parts. Check everything!

Comp Cam quality control. I'm not surprised.

I don't believe you.

looks like its made out of 100% Chineseium. a known alloy of dubious quality that's guaranteed to (insert 4 letter word of choice) up what ever it touches

How would something like that groovy patch happen in the manufacturing process of a cam?

what makes Comp Cams so popular? they seem to be everyone's "go to"

I bought my stuff from Hughes..... they hooked me with the "Mopar Specific" BS

Gives new meaning to flat tappet...

Best you’re going to get from comp is ford style lobes in their XE line, plus their “run flat” technology.

I’ve had great results with Hughes cams from both performance and reliability perspective . Hughes lobes are inherently more aggressive because they are designed to take advantage of Chrysler’s larger lifter diameters. Winner of “Fading Color” cam shootout article from several years ago by a small margin.

Great quality control!

Got a link?

My guess is that defect was there in the semi-finished core(as it came from the core supplier) the finished profile was ground on.
Not an excuse, just a possible explanation.
It absolutely should have been caught before it even got close to being put in a box.

That’s the Max-Profit line.

Seeing something like this makes me appreciate the original that's still in my car.
