In fact me and the guy I was apprentice to build a very early Zvh in year 2000 I think it was, I put a second hand cam in that out of a rotten xr3 and 15 years later that same engine is still going in the xr2 the engine ended up in and apart from regular servicing it's never gone wrong. But yeah your supposed to change cam and tappets for new or keep them matched but sometimes due to lack of availability of parts or funds then u do what u have to do.
15 years on the same cam in a cvh no doubt it does run if you say so, but it will be scrap and won't have the same profile it went in with really pleased you spent your entire youth working on them, it doesn't mean nobody else did.

I took your post giving contact details for a breakers as condoning fitting a used cam? I'm sure that's what you meant? Apologies if not
