i agree i must be mad to consider kent thats why i was going to ring them to discuss the reliabilty factor , i have not said i am going to buy a kent cam just going to have a chat
and i have not used kent cams in my car for a while and maybe there testing on failed cams has shed some light on there poor history and been able to correct it as i have not heard of any failing lately
if you look at my reply about solid lifters i have put not touched them ( yet ) i am considering them for the engine thats why i put the post up which cam to use to get some answers and views like yours if i was building the engine to way exceed its normal rev limit then i would have to put them in no questions about it but i am not building the engine to rev that high even though it would be capable
cheers
