Need help. Your Opinion on these used parts? (XP, Heads, Big pics)

[AdamGTP7]

Im in the process of purchasing 3800 Heads, XP cam, Wbodystore Fuel logs, 42.5 Injectors from another member.

When I went to take a look at the parts, I noticed slight damage to the "middle part" of the cam. They looked like little tiny scratches and you can definitely feel them if you run your finger across them.

The parts:

XP Cam

• It does not say "XP" on it anywhere. Is this the correct Cam?
• Are the scratches and rubbish marks across it normal wear?

Triple Edge Perf L67 ported polished heads

• L67 Heads
• L32 Valves
• Comp Cam #105
• Comp Cam pushrods
• ZZP mod retainers
• Stock Rockers

1) Is this definetly an XP Cam?
2) Is it perfectly functional?
3) Do the heads look good?
4) Would you buy them?

Thanks guys

lobes are fucked, probably last a while longer, but not something i would toss in a daily

IF james says this, it's the truth, this guy will use anything. So him saying there's a smudge of a chance, means that junk is FUCKED. Besides, it's a waste to toss an xp cam on lightly ported heads. Might as well run an xpz, will make for better results. But the best results would obviously be turbo...

Okay sounds good guys. Thanks for the heads up.

were those heads ran with this cam? they are both mold 25's, could be damn good heads

 

[AdamGTP7]

Yes, those heads were ran with that cam for not too many miles. I think <25k.

What are mold 25's?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

certain sand molds used to cast the heads have inherent differences, those are both from the same mold (cant make out the casting dates) so out of the box they are well matched heads (and theyve been ported right?) the higher mold numbers seem to have less core shift as the tooling was made later than say a mold number 7

 

[AdamGTP7]

ooo makes sense.

Yes they have been ported and polished by Triple Edge Perf...

if they were in my possesion I would tell you the mold number, maybe Ryan can chime in. He will be selling these bad boys.

i can see the mold numbers in the pics

the left head the 25 is right side up and in the lower left (just to the right of the VC bolt hole) the right head is upside down so look at it's upper right

if the casting dates are near the same then your pretty much gauranteed the mold wasnt remachined or modified when each heads sand mold was pressed and assembled
