Angry HO cams, did i get screwd???

all lobes look fine except this one. i know nothing about cams and internals but this seem like it would be an issues. seller said he pulled them from a jeep with 15k miles on them. not sure how that would even happen. he failed to mention this part.
you can see the normal wear mark in the center. is that the only part that comes in contact with whatever the cams push? or will the jagged edge cause me mega issues??


please help, im pissed.

USPS is $hit. They've ruined stuff on me before and they won't take any responsibilty. Even after the time they put a message on there that THEY damaged it, they still didn't want to fix it. Absoulte BS. I'm getting angry again just thinking about it. Terrible service and customer service. UPS FTW lol.

i still cant imagine how that gouge happened. the cams were wrapped in like 5 layers of bubblewrap. its like they took them out and started to sword fight with them.

Wow I can believe that for damage like that to happen they had to be thrown around pretty good. I love my ups here it the only company that gets my stuff here safely and fast fedex is alright but they are a little slower and ill never use dhl again they destoryed my box of hids. I would call ups and bitch to them give them the sob story saying like your truck is down and you needed these and since they are damaged you cant go to work and now since your missing so much work you can make it home for christmas cause you dont have enough money lol
