would you run this cam? sorry for the crappy pictures. the hassy looking stuff on it is just oil where i lubed it up to keep from corrosion. is this pitting bad enough not to run or what?

 

I am no expert but I don't think it should have that kind of wear?

 

I would not put that cam in my engine.

 

when i took my stock cam out after 70k miles it didnt look like that and when i took the vette cam out after 12000 miles it didnt look like that either....i wouldnt use it

 

somethings wrong with that cam, I wouldn't touch it - I've seen a 100,000 mile cam that looked near mint, you shouldn't be seeing wear and pitting like that

 

I would take it to a shop to get regrounded.

 

If you have it reground you will change the cam specs on that lobe. You could have all of them done but unless it was free, you would probably be better off with another cam. If it is just a lobe or two messed up, I would say it was probably a problem with the lifter, probably the bearings going bad in the roller, since I am assuming this is a roller cam.

 

Nope I wouldn't be putting that hunk in my engine..

 

no. yes its bad enough not to run.

 

ok not going to use the cam. its a used mti c2 cam.
