So I bought a used Lunati solid cam and lifters for my 340. Saw a few pics before purchase but not anything up close. I am posting these pics for opinions if you have cam experience as a professional. Use it or not. 106LSA, 244-249 @.050, 532/543 lift. I will use new lifters if I use it. If a no please explain why. I also posted on Facebook at Mopar Engines. Just wanting a few more opinions.
Thanks FABO

Had a cam with similar wear we put it in my brothers valiant over a year ago on afresh rebuild and had no problems, just run with it

2 lifters look convex, one concave, at least one lobe looks to be grooved and worn. Patterns on several lobes are suspicious. If it were mine I'd call Howards cams and start fresh. I'd rather spend the $300 now for cam and direct oil lifters rather than the $1000 and chipped paint plus a weeks work later. There's not much worse than getting sucked into false economy.

Just curious what are you seeing on the lifters thst changed your mind? I don't see any obvious dishing or anything looks like a nice shiny circle which means they were rotating. Im not arguing or questioning your opinion just want to know what your seeing that im missing.

I see pits and a slight concave reflection. That's enough for me to say no.
