Any aftermarket cam will work with them and they are self aligning...just how many miles is 20K kilometers.

Crane Golds are self-aligning and are the same ones GM uses for their LT4 motors.

I've seen them go for $175 u.s.

Make sure you tighten them 1/4-1/2 turn past zero lash.

Don't forget to upgrade your valve springs while you're at it.

They work with most any cam.

too many.... On serious parts that can mean mega failure when they fail I dont skimp!(referring to valve train components) I would suggest Comp Pro Magnum 1.6's non self aligning.. sure you use guide plates and if your car is pre 1995 you will need hardened pushrods, but if you are wanting cam, you will want a guide plate and non self aligning because its more insurance when you try to sping 7000+ rpm!! hehe besides they are quieter..
