Would you run this? Looking for some opinions as to whether or not this cam is still worth puting back in. it seems like a piece of my broken spring must have gotten between the lobe and lifter to me. It will be looked at buy my head guy but i'm curious what you guys think

i'm gonna junk it. this whole build/repair is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. i broke a 1518 at part throttle. pulled the heads and the other 15 springs were down on pressure and rate. PAC and my head guy ask for cam specs so i email FTI. FTI wont give the specs needed to id the lobes for fear of somebody copying his work. he says the lobes were made for a beehive though. so my only option was to pull the cam and have it doctored. so i pull it to find this 
They are all gun-drilled. Well, not sure about the VVT cams, but all Gen III's are...
