$1500 for an 03 lq4 isn't a bad deal, what are you waiting for?

Didn't know about the compression raising on those heads. No good for me then.

cams here..
Got the cam today. I guess I was expecting a bright shiny shaft. I hope they didn't send me the used one they have in there "Specials" section. The "Special" (used) cam is the same grind as this one a #62. What do yall think has this been used? Less than 100 miles according to the special. I've never seen a brand new cam before so maybe I'm retarded.

i saw on a write up from comp or something, the cams are coated in copper or some other reddish metal before grinding ( part of the hardening process if i remember correctly? ) are the lobes nice and even and no marks on them?

Cams come with an anti-corrosion coating which makes them not so shinny. And the lobes look brank new from what I can tell. Clean it off with some carb cleaner before you lube it up and put it in. I think i've heard that before somewhere
