Default Anyone Using The Kent cvh37 cam?

Seriously pissed off today,found out my cvh 36 is fucked its only done around 300 miles max.

So im changing it to the cvh37 so i just wondered if anyone is using one and are they any good?

Cheers

Wouldn't touch Kent Cams. I heard all this a year ago when the last engine was being built. We were going to use a Kent36 cam, but quickly got rid of it before fitting it because of someone I know fitted one and it lasted about 5 minutes

Kent weren't too bothered either...
