Money back guarantee isn't worth much after a valve has hit a piston.
It doesn't work that long, read what I wrote. Gotta inspect and return before use!

When it comes to parts, good suppliers will have solid documentation of their supply chain, from raw materials to finished product on the shelf. Granted, that's more common in the aircraft industry, but if major chains are getting counterfeits it's because their buyers are going outside of documented sources to try and save money.
We pays our money and takes our chances.
Push it hard enough you can break anything. I'd rather start at a better place. I'm not going through HFT cam failures either, but I attribute that to using the recommended springs of decent quality so there's no valvetrain instability issues that rears it's ugly head. I'm still sitting here saying buy decent valvetrain parts while you sit there trying to justify buying cheap shyt 6 ways from Sunday each time going in a different direction.You take a chance with anything you put together with any parts. Just look at all the flat tappet cam/lifter failures due to user error and not so called bad parts LOL I've used those same BAD parts successfully because I broke them in correctly!
Never said GM was the best, don't put words in my mouth. Still thanks for all the thread bumps
Cam Motion, another top notch company to deal with, always have been.Oh boy, have i seen some parts failures from Ebay.
I rebuilt about 26 LS engines last year that they used Ebay Lifters, Lifter Trays, Valve Springs, Pushrods, Camshafts, Timing chains and injectors. Its terrible.
I had a truck dropped off Saturday that the guy put ebay lifters in and they failed in just a few mintues.. They pulled the heads off and put another set in and broke 2 Ebay Head bolts off in the block.
I buy Lifters and Springs from Cam Motion and over the last few hundred sets ive never had a failure.
2 weeks ago i was tuning a car and at 6500 rpms it decided to break a retainer and dropped valve in the cylinder. Broke the stem off the valve and got thrown back in the intake runner down into another cylinder and it was some very impressive carnage. Talked to the guy and had him send me links to all the parts he used. Ebay valve springs and reatainers... Ruined his $4000 engine trying to save $100.
