Slightly rusted new cam
Well I bought a L92 Stage 2R cam from Livernois and it has slight rusting on a few of the lobes. It's not pitting but I think more of surface rust. Should I be worried about this or try cleaning it with something? I'm kind of skeptical that the cam was sitting around for a while as it doesn't feel like it has any oil on it and the bag was already opened and the box was worn down.

No nothing to worry about...... If you can just get a solvent parts cleaning tank and clean your cam with solvent and scrub it with a scotch brite pad..... Ive seen this many times

That's what I thought. I don't want to scratch the lobes at all and cause any problems as I've put lots of money into this motor so far.

i would not put anything rusted in my engine. you should be okay if you clean it but personally i would not do it. call them and see if you can get a new one sent out. did you buy it as a used product? if not i would make them overnight a new one to me. if you pay for a new part you should get a new part in respectable condition.
