How many miles on it? Mine looked somewhat like that and didn't have many miles on it. I bought the car that way and had some other problems, but I'm not going to re-use mine. You might be able to polish it, but I wouldn't pay the average used cam price on something in that condidtion. Seems like something wasn't running correct as far as pushrod length or spring seat pressure.
Anybody else have cams come out looking like the above cam?

A cam CAN have too much wear. I would not buy it. A lobe can be almost completly rounded off and cause misfires. I would stick with buying a new cam that way you would have no doubt's on the reliabilty.
