Default Pics of Trex?

I just bought a motor from a guy off here, and he said it had a T-Rex cam in it.

Well, motor came, not as described missing a bunch of pieces, etc. And my mechanic looked at the cam through the bottom end and said he was seriously doubting it was a T-Rex.

And the grind numbers aren't Comp Numbers.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone had pics of the grind numbers on their T-Rex or T-Rex clones. Want to make sure I'm going to have the motor put in with the cam it's supposed to have. Otherwise I'll have to spring and buy an actual brand new cam, at least I'll know what I've got for sure then.

I appreciate any help.

Well, how about you post up some pics of the cam w/ numbers.

That would be the easier way.

I assume that this bogus sale is being questioned in earnest?

I'd be pissed if I bought something and it showed up with missing stuff and not the cam I was told it had.....

I'll try to get pictures this week.

Motor is at the shop.

Ended up getting the guy to ship "all" the parts that were promised with the motor.

I haven't seen any of it yet, but my mechanic said there was still oil in the oil pan, which pretty much destroyed the box. There are packing peanuts everywhere. No intake manifold, missing one of the pushrods.

Beleive me, I'm not happy by any means. Not a lot of avenues to anything about it.

Throw a caliper on it. That'll at least tell you if the lifts correspond.

If it's from Thunder Racing, it will have a serial number on it. Call them up and Geoff can tell you if it is a TRex or not.

Why would someone ship a motor with 15 pushrods? What, did he figure you'd have a moly pushrod laying around at your dispense? lol what a doof. "here's your motor, but one of the pushrods dissappeared, it might run without it though"
