Chris -

OK, I didn't respond till now because I'd never seen it (cams without o-rings) before, and I've seen a LOT of 450's.

Here's an EBay listing - looking at the photos, these cams don't seem to have o-rings either.
Sorry I can't offer an explanation......

Whoever the manufacturer, they look to have been turned from end to end. Not raw castings turned at the contact/wear surfaces like the stockers.

Just a quick thought there....

EDIT: I also noticed something else that Ebay seller had for sale. He has a countershaft cover that has no gear shift pattern cast into it? Is this normal for the year, or any year for that matter??? I thought the 4 speed indicated (on the cover) 4 gears and the 5 speed, 5 gears?

Nope... On the 450's you have to KNOW the minor differences in the covers ( bolt positions, shift-shaft placement) to even attempt to tell a 4 and a 5 speed cover apart....At first glance, they appear identical, but they're not.... Steve

Whoever honda 3370 is on the other site said that he made the pistons.Maybe someone can ask him if he knows but I wouldn't know how to contact him or who he is. Regards chris.
