He may of been very unlucky and got a couple bad ones from a bad batch. Definently not the first time HKS has had design flaws. Read up on Supraforums about the issues with the HKS Cam Gears (Anodized Purple/Teal, 3 bolt design ones), where the teeth were litterally wearing off, on the gears.
However, the HKS SSQBOV has mostly received nothing but positive reviews overall. I installed mine back in 2002 and it still is running strong as ever.
