Default IS there something wrong with this cam. PICS

So I ordered this cam off of one of the sponsors on the site along with some injectors, and a timing set. The cam was out of stock so they told me they would have COMP send it to me in a few days which was fine. So the cam showed up this week and I opened the box today. And I found this.

The one set of lobes looks like they were ground wrong maybe. I don't know this is my first build. But the other 3 sets look they match but this set looks like the intake and exhaust are way too over lapped. Or is it just firing order that I am looking at.

I just want some opinions before I call the sites sponsor. So please let me know what you think.


This is what the three sets lobes looks like.


And now the questionable.

Can you be a little more exact on your concern? Not sure I understand what the question is.

I was thinking a little wrong on this one. I had my l lobe order off, I was looking at the two intake lobes for opposite cylinders thinking one was a intake and the other an exhaust for the same cylinder, but that wasn't the case.

Right, there are eight sets of intake and exhaust lobes starting with #1 Intake and they are positioned on the cam according to the firing order.
