Default street sweeper cam l believe is DAMAGED

I ran across what I thought was a deal for a FTI street sweeper cam 236/240 631/610 111 lsa and thunder racing 7.4 pushrods for $100 but the pushrods are fine and I believe this cam is just a paper weight now but The guy said his builder told him he could reuse this cam but I don't believe its safe..

If he will give you the $ back take it, bc even if the pushrods look ok they still don't have the strength of new pushrods...get that $ back and get some good stuff

The only way that cam will do any street sweeping is if you attach it to a broom

Thats what my looked like when my motor went. My oil pump pressure relief stuck open and bled off all the pressure. My bearings were shot also.

That will make a good lamp stand or paper weight but it's useless for anything else.
