Slightly rusted new cam
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.
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've got a 12mp digital camera that lacks so many options. It has no option to capture a close up shot. All of the close ups came out blurry and you can't distinguish anything

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.
