What's going on with this cam?
« on: November 25, 2014, 01:50:09 PM »
I was gifted a lot of old harley parts and this (unused? ) performance cam was in a box.  However the cam lobes look a bit pitted in places and there's some strange wear on the shaft where I'm assuming it would make contact while rotating.   Does this look usable/fixable/salable?

It can be reground but may not be cost effective
