Need some feedback guys, just recieved a set of used camshafts and they had these little markings or slight indentations running along the length of the cam itself. I don't know if this is normal and I'm just being paranoid but I just want to be safe knowing these are ok to install. Let me know what you think. Pictures aren't that great but you can see what I'm talking about.

They will have some marks but idk about indentations.

 

I wouldn't even say they are indentations because its so light but the marks are consisently in a straight line going across and on one of the camshafts, there are two sets of these markings and they are exactly opposite of each other on the camshaft.

 

Perfectly normal. I've seen that on most cams.

 

It's from removal of casting slag , normal when the cams are produced.

 

What he said. You just want to look and feel around the lobes to see and make sure it's smooth.

 

They look just fine to me, they look almost the same as my HKS used cams I got from a friend. And I have been running them in my Evo for the last 15000 miles with no issues.

 

thanks for the feedback guys, i feel much better now haha
