Solid cam damage diagnosis help

I would send the cam back to Hughes and see what they say.

Or to someone else for an unbiased opinion.

It “looks” like it has loads of taper from the pics.
If in fact it does, it’s a defective part imo.

If it doesn’t, and it does actually have the staggered lobe taper like it’s supposed to...... then you have another issue.
