Finally got these bad boys in, had a shop custom spec these "stage 3" cams for me. Going to be doing a full top end rebuild with 63 Motorsports Plates, BS Lifters, Gaskets & Seals.
Not sure which car the OP has, but I heard Tasos say the 2014 C63 uses the valve springs from the SLS and that's why the 2014s have more wear on the lobes.
Wow. Those lobes look less "pointy." Sounds like a fun project.
Yeah, the lobes are a lot more rounded than the factory cams. Hopefully they should give me a nice choppy idle with some added HP.

Yes I have the cam specs, I specifically requested to go with the highest lift & duration as possible without having to modify the heads or valve springs.
Once I get them installed and tested I might post where I got them from.
Very nice. Keep us posted how it goes. I'm going to be replacing my lifters and adjuster plates soon. My camshafts look about the same as yours. Maybe a hair better so I decided to roll with them for now. Mine seemed to have a little more wear on the drivers side than the passenger side.
Started pulling the valve covers off today, glad I'm replacing the cams. They were starting to show wear on the cam lobes.
Pretty easy job so far, only about 2 hours in. Might actually have them installed by the weekend.
Iīd say those still look good, pay more attention to the buckets, if buckets are good those camshafts have a lot of mileage left in them.
And having that said, keep them, do not trash them

Yeah I'll keep them, they didn't look too bad after removing them and inspecting them closely.
As for the lifters some of them were starting to look a little worn, glad I'm replacing them while I'm in there!

Hi
The new cams look really door and amazing you can purchase aftermarket ones, are the new cams the same lift or are you planning to check the piston to valve clearance.
I suspect those new cams are old with added material?
(in that case)Ask the company who grinded them if they have heattreated them properly so they donīt brake like Tomeiīs does.

Some lift has been added, you'll run into head clearance and valve spring issues before piston to valve clearance.

Yep, heat treated and hard coated. These shouldn't have the cam wear issues like the factory camshafts.
