Help needed from the cat Gurus

I would like to think this is probably isolated to the vendor, I feel that to fill the order they falsified the number. If you are in doubt pull the cover off the rear of the head. Number is on the rear journal. But keep in mind the new cam was billed under a different number than what it was stamped with. The new cam was new but had a reman number.

 

The number on the cam had been ground off and restamped. The cam came from a dealer that buys from cummins and cat , I was told the cam came from the Morton wharehouse. I do know about the reman number on new parts . I think it would be hard to reman a cam unless the damage was limited to imprefections in the finish. I think that they looked up the lift specs and found most have the same lift and assumed they are all the same without thought to lobe seperation and and different advance specs. I firmly believe this was done inhouse and not the fault of cat. Now I need to confront the supplier about this and see what can be done. The sad part is I know a lot of other shops that use them for parts and I wonder if this has happened before.
