Would you buy a used cam with 10k on it?
 
The thunder cam I have been wanting to get for ever but just havent had the money for is for sell in the classified section. $200 :D The only thing is that it has 10k on it :confused: I mean my stock cam has 70k on it and im guessing its still ok. Is there any reason I should'nt buy this cam? Can A cam be worm out or damaged with out the engine blowing?

TIA , Justin

ooooo....new cam..... :p

Roller cams don't wear like the "old style" cams. I bought mine used w/6k on it. If it came out of a motor that was still in one piece, I say, go for it.

Used roller cams are as good as new (unless the motor blows and something HITS them....).

Be sure that the cam doesn't have any bad nicks in
the contact surfaces/journals, and that it's in
generally good condition.

If I can find a good condition cam with the spec's
I want for half price(used), I wouldn't hesitate.

In fact, used cam's are all that I've been running
in my car over the last year and a half.

and I've don'e quite well with them.
