Just bought some 2nd hand 268 cams -question about condition

[matth76 0]

Hi

I've just bought second hand 268 Eurospec cams for a golf vr6. I have been told they have done approximately 2k miles. They are silvery grey and I have noticed there are some random grooves/nicks right all the way down one of them... it looks as though it is from wear and tear, and also some strange reddish speckling on one of the 'lobes' where it would normally be silver... my question is will cams normally have a some scuffs and nicks like this etc if they have done around 2k miles?.. I assume they will if they are right in the head of the engine... but need to find out what these nicks are all the way down one of them.

 

Also should the word "Eurospec" be written anywhere on the cams?

 

Thanks for any help.
