It look used? I contacted the seller and he said he never opened it, so i called comp up to ask them about the serial number on the cam and it does not match anything that they have, so its not a comp cam.

The seller will take a refund, but i wanted to ask if any if you guys have a 212/218 cam to compare with mine. on the back of the camshaft it has the number:
0965
4 13
8121

so im pretty sure ill send it back to him and get a refund.

same thing happened to me with an "aftermarket Eaton posi" but it ended up being a worthless factory g-80 unit.

That is why I hate buying anything from an individual on ebay. I bought a handheld gps from a guy ontime and it had water in it. Luckly it was in the original packaging so I took it to Circuit City and got a new one. :lol:

This guys is far from cool. Especially since he admits being dishonest in the first place. You should have got you money back and kept the damn thing. You could have gotten rid of it easy with all the guys in here wanting ls1 cams.
