Do you know if the breathers were cleaned at the same time? If not these can cause premature failre of the cam covers, especially if they were pattern parts and not genuine Vx. Also they could have been over tightened, they only need to go down to 8nm as they are plastic cam covers. I'd have a word with the seller and ask those questions first :y
