Possible Flaw with cams?

Recommended Posts

Just removed the engine to do some jobs in engine bay and thought id look check over the cams whilst im there.

I noticed this on one of the lobes [ATTACH]69967[/ATTACH]

Its got a minor gouge thats pitted as though a flaw in the material.

 

Il be taking the cam to a engine specialist but just wanted to guage thoughts..

 

Regular oil changes, magnetic sump plug and never debris found.

This apparently is quite common.

 

I bought a set of ABF cams for mine, which had pitting of various lobes. Various 'expert' sources told me they should be fine. Put them in and run them for a 1000 miles and check. I have done this - so far so good.

Yeah I've seen that happen to a few sets of SP263s. Email him with pictures and he should send a replacement set over. I think he had a bad batch.
