it may work out fine but to me its being kinda cheap.. to me its like buying an ebay cam or a generic cold air kit where nothing really fits quite right. valvetrain is something id always buy new and unmodified

do they re-harden the lobes afterwards,probably not.I would not trust it with the valve springs today and higher seat pressures.Its just more pressure on a cam that is reground and probably not up to the task,especially for 40 bucks.Its your engine and you can do what you want,but i wouldnt trust it
