Default What CAM is this????

I just got my cam package in today...The cam itself has rust pits on it, and the box it cam it says 13/06/02 on it....like its been siting for a while...
The numbers on the cam are...as they apear on the cam..

1.3:20(and then an upside down U) 11:00B
05902 08002

In between each cylinder intake and exaust setup there is yellow paint. ( 4 spaces with paint total)

Can anyone name this cam? I hope?

that blue burnt color on the lobes sounds like someone might have gotten that cam pretty warm, maybe do to poor lubrication.

You ordered a cam and it came with rust pits? Send it back regardless!

I would throw a fit if i ordered a cam and it had any sign of uses on it. Send i that thing back and make sure to take pics so they dont try and screw you.

The blue color is from the heat treating. You might be able to match it up by the lift numbers, but you would need a dial caliper to first measure the base circle, then measure the difference at the lobe (1/4 turn from base circle measurement) and subtract it. That will be your lobe lift, multiply that by 1.7 and thats your valve lift.

No offense, but why would you order a cam from someplace that you wouldn't trust to send you the right part you ordered?

Take a pic of it and post it. People can give you a better idea of the condition of the cam. Take close ups of the area's you are curious about.

I ordered the cam from SDPC. The rust on the cam came off after scratching it. But I still can imagin that they would have this cam sitting on shelves long enough to get rust on the camshaft. I though their was a chance they sent me the wrong cam. I ordered the hot cam kit and was trying to see if anyone knew what a hotcam looked like.
