Re: Does this camshaft look bad?

68, look for lobes that are shiny all the way across the lobe. Those will bad. The very peak of highest lift can look a little funky, and still be good. Good lobes should have wear on the back half of the lobe only, all the way around.

I'm going to take a closer look this weekend but from what I can see know it looks like the peak of the lobes are shiny.

Trying to bring a 68 Panel Truck back from the dead. 396 Big Block, 4 on the floor, and a whole lot of rust.
