Default would a cam profiled from a blank have a Ford stamp

just curious as ive bought a pair of cams off someone who said one was profiled from a blank however both have got Ford stamps on them? do i go back and complain or not...?

im sure being profiled from a blank would mean no stamps watsoever on there apart from the companies who are profiling them?

Yes if the cam blank was brought from ford it could have the ford stamp on it before being profiled

i couldn't see Ford selling a blank, if it was profiled incorrectly it could cause engine damage, Fords would not want the comeback.
