Used cam wear question
If you buy used cams, what are some drawbacks/concerns? Is there a wear issue? I would think that even a few thousand miles wouldn't be a big deal, but can anyone shed some light on this? I searched, but didn't see what I was looking for. Thanks.

older cars, with direct lifter/cam contact, patterns develop. this can lead to destroying camshafts. luckily, most moder OHC cams, you dont have that kind of contact. you dont have direct cam contact, so you should be ok. i know we are in the srt community

Cams should be fine but whenever you buy used cams, you just increase the chance of something going wrong. Inspect them real thourough.
