Default Used cams, pistons, pushrods

I found a used woods 222 kit with cams, lifters, and adjustable push rods from fuel moto. They have about 3k miles on them. He says he took it all out to go to a big boar kit with 777 cams. Because they are used, does anyone think I will have any issues reinstalling them in to my bike? He says they are like new and has sent pics. He also marked them so they would all go back in the right spot. Any thoughts? He’s selling it all for 250$. Thnx in advance

they should be ok. I picked up a set of 222's on ebay with around 5k miles, they looked like new and are in my bike now.

You have to get pushrods. You also should get lifters. Pistons should be fine too.. you’re also gonna need a tune

It comes with used pushrods and lifters. That were installed and uninstalled at the same time. All marked so they will go back in the same way they came out

I put in pistons in my message. Should have been lifters. Wasn’t thinking just typing. So I corrected it

Great deal!
Install the used parts, everything will be just fine.
The roller lifters don't wear into the cams like old flat tappet lifters do on old car engines.
Install any lifter in any hole, it will work just fine.

Sounds like a great deal. Much cheaper than buying it new.

After all, we’re all running on used parts.

General question to all.

Wouldn't you be worried about odd or bad wear marks?
