Re: Help! Look at my cam
Not what i would expect to see with a custom cam either... I know my Mopar cam lobes were not polished (looked similar to yours) when i got it... but thats not a Custom grind. Maybe someone else will chime in.
If it feels right, then STROKE it!

Re: Help! Look at my cam
Looks fine to me. They are not suppose to be shinny or nice looking. Its from the parkerizing which helps with the break in process. http://deltacam.com/camshaftgrinding.php?p=6
Who did the custom grind for you?

Yep, looks like any other NEW flat tappet cam to me, only roller cams are shiny.

Re: Help! Look at my cam
It's the phosphate coating that's added to help the prelube stick to the surface during the break-in period. After break-in the lobes should look shiny.EVIL95XJ wrote:i ordered a custom ground cam with my rebuild kit and this is what i got, ive never purchased a custom ground cam before but ive never seen the lobes look like this, looks like they forgot to polish them right?

Re: Help! Look at my cam
Lol! SAME thing happened to me! I thought the thrust bearing was some sort of repaired main due to a previously spun bearing, heheamcinstaller wrote:thats ok. the very first time i tore down an engine (very long ago) i didnt know what a thrust bearing was and i posted a panic thread thinking my donor was effed.
