Interesting. Found the order link...
https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...44f172045kWc6q
Obviously a mistake - be curious as to what the real price is and qty required - maybe a good find?

Did Taso ever confirm that the intake and exh are the same? If these sell for a buck I'm buying 100 and giving the regulars here a free set.
All we really need is the plates inside these.
Before everyone blows them up I already messaged on Alibaba and WhatsApp. Let's try to get the plates at least for a buck each.

TBOMK, plates are only good if you have a worn pin cavity. I've replaced both of my Es - 1 for a start-up rattle (worn pin cavity), and the other for MAJOR random issues - best I could tell, whatever spring-type mechanism they use was gone and it was extremely difficult to get it into position to use the cam locking tool.
$1 is a mistake or fraud. Interesting thing here is I can't see it worth any ones time to clone this. If legit, I'm guessing an oem supplier gone rogue OR a rejected QC issue - if the price is right, maybe worth a shot.
If its a dollar, buy a few hundred - make for a cool paperweight.

I & E are definitely different.

Wow that is like $130 more than just getting them from a Dealer - this is the cheapest place I have found recently - on long island, Mercedes Dealer, shipping is pretty quick and $526 for a cam adjuster.
