Cam lobe discoloration normal?

I agree as you are this far into it.They can tell a story.BUT you did state the engine has about 5000 miles on it.
If you had a problem, that cam would have gone flat way long ago in my book.
Is it that these lobes and cam look that dry because of you cleaning the valley ?


Yes, car has been sitting for about 3 weeks before i pulled the intake, was waiting on the new radiator before i drained the system, also the valley had oil in it, it has just been cleaned as there was a little coolant that got in there from pulling the intake
