How much are you really going to save? I have a brand new comp 220/234 on a 115 for $300 shipped.
plenty of others for sale around that price.

It is a gamble. I have heard of people that were happy with them. But, you also find people who chased thier tales trying to get their cars to run ans later found out thier regrind cam was the problem. Not wort the savins IMO.
