Default Hows my cam look? Normal wear?
Was just in the process of switching to the LS6 PCV and noticed the cam wear on it, have no idea if its normal or abnormal to me. Looks a bit beat up, IMO. What do you guys think? Do i need a new cam?

It would be worth taking it out and inspecting.

From what I can see it looks fine. Rotate the it over and look for pitting if you don't see any it should be good.
