    Somebody will.

    There is nothing wrong with a used cam. A cam does not have to come with a kit in order to be set up correctly. That would be up to the person installing it to do their research and select the correct parts. You can always contact the cam manufacturer and get their recommendation on what parts should be used. Thus, the cam has to be identified in the first place, which is what this thread was created for. If it is installed with the wrong stuff, and fails or wears out prematurely, luck didn't have much to do with it. I put a used cam in a 250 I6, and it ran with no problems for 40k miles until I swapped the engine out for a 200 I6 due to worn rings.
