Is cam o.k., condition wise (ZZ3)

O.K., i'm not an expert at judging roller cam condidtions. Is this cam ok, or is it trash?

Thanks in advance,
JD

It looks like other GM roller cams I have pulled out.

Check to make sure there are no pits on the surface of the lobes. This is a sign it is wearing out.

Check the cam gear for wear on the teeth. Anything you can catch your fingernail on is a concern.

I don't think it is junk by looking at the pictures.

Mark.

Roger that. Thanks mark, for $65, it's a hell of a deal I don't want to pass up.

Lates,

Haven't mic'ed it. I was just curious about the appearance of the lobes, as i've never seen a used roller cam. Sheltered child and all... It's an awesome deal, the cam supposedly only has 10,000 miles on it.
