    Sorry for the crappy cell pics this was long before I owned a smart phone with a bajillion pixel camera.
    Is that the Exhaust cam? I've seen some where the CMP actuator solenoid came apart and took out the cam and head, and the oil passage on the exhaust side was clogged with metal shavings.

    Those are all brand new parts from the dealership.

    Brand new.

    The cam pic, and it is hard to make out, is to show how the cam looks like two halfs put together that didn't quite line up. Most of the lobes had about a 1/8 inch on each side that didn't algn. Sort of like if you hold your hands together palms facing they align? But if you move one hand slightly and the mirror image is messed up.

    To really explain how bad it was: I sent the first set of cam shafts back because I thought they were faulty and didn't want to put them in. The second set showed up looking exactly the same.

    Wow that's almost as bad as FOMO parts
