Does this look normal ? Its a Tick performance stage 2 turbo cam( comp cams) with roughly 2000 kms on it , it was in a junkyard LQ4 ,the cam bearings looked ok and the engine had good oil pressure and it was in running condition when I pulled it out .

 

 

 

Comp Cams had lots of issues with surface hardening and concave geometry. It's trash.

Replace with a new Comp grind with new lobe finishing. Or go to TSP or Cam Motion for their grinds on superior cores...

 

I'm throwing it in a junkyard LC9 for now and will swap it out with a better grind when my budget allows . The engine its going into is worn and has high miles, so I won't be heartbroken if wipes out the bearings or something.
