Why?

It's an unknown cam, the lifters and the cam may not be the same company or the same production run, so they may not be the same hardness. If you buy it you're risking a poor running motor from an improper cam profile, or worse, a flat cam which can destroy the rest of your motor, just like this piston out of a flat cam motor.

But, to answer your question, no I don't recognize it. Both WebCam and Engle cams come in boxes with their names on them. This is not a WebCam or and Engle.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ............A FLAT cam, means that, in the begginning, there was no taper ground into the lobe....WHAT!!!!.....thats right GUYS camshaft lobes have a .5 to 1 degree angle GROUND INTO the lobe. This induces the LIFTER to spin/rotate with every cam lobe cycle, creating even wear for all the moving parts in the valvetrain and promoting lubrication for/to the cam and lifters... A" flat cam " is one that is worn down or manufactured WITH OUT an included ( perpendular) angle in the lobes.....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Thats a forged piston...It failed because the three piece (SET)OIL CONTROL RAILS were not installed. the centerpart/ as it was not restrained, expanded to the cylinderwall and ate itself and the cylinderwall,s up. the mammoth galling of the piston could also be from improper piston to cylinder wall clearances. a quick death in two directions. .............A FLAT cam, means that, in the begginning, there was no taper ground into the lobe....WHAT!!!!.....thats right GUYS camshaft lobes have a .5 to 1 degree angle GROUND INTO the lobe. This induces the LIFTER to spin/rotate with every cam lobe cycle.,( creating even wear for all the moving parts in the valvetrain.).................A" flat cam " is not going to destroy the piston, especially to the extent shown....

You sure know a lot about a complete motor from one picture. Too bad most of it is WRONG. I'm not even going to waste time rebutting you, since odds are you won't believe me anyway since you apparently already think you know everything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
