it looks just like the brand new cam i have in my room. main thing is to look for scraps or like something out of the ordinary on the lobes and bearing area.

Under it, you can feel that is rough and rugged. As if some material chipped off between the lobes. Dont know if its worth anything since its not on the lobes or cam bearing spot..

In the first pic, the lobe to the right of the yellow paint, is that a gouge or just something from the camera?

As long as theres no gashes,chunks missing,etc on the lobes or cam journals than its fine.

Good luck on the install dood !
