Default Used camshaft polishing

Is it a good idea to have a camshaft polished before installing it with new lifters. I was following another post and I put this question in thinking someone would chime in but it was a bit off-topic, so here it is again.

The cam is used with a few thousand miles on it. Lobes look great but like I said. I'm going with new lifters.

As long as there is no pitting or signs of damage you should be fine. Just oil it up and in it goes.

wouldn't that be the same as installing old lifters on a new camshaft. I'm confused after following this thread.

No, these are rollers. You may find discoloration marks but if there is nothing that your fingernail can grab on then you're Ok.
