Continued Damaged Cams..

[Guest]

Here's another set I got. Bike apparently ran out of oil. What's the prognosis on these cams?

Those are in bad shape. You could try polishing them, best bet is to send them off and have them reground

I think you already know the answer...

King of dead cams.

why would you want to risk ruining your head with those cams?

You will likely suffer follower failure and could easily potentially damage one of the cam saddles from the looks of it. You are pretty much guaranteed to have extra metal floating around.

You did not mention here your are running about a 30-40 hp NOS boost on an an 1166 , so those cams will likely fry pretty fast.

I'm just curious now if you have any GOOD cams?!!! I have a brand new set of G4s for sale! Ray.

An old dirt track racer once told me how to check a used cam. "Take the cam and throw it against a brick wall as hard as you can. If it breaks, it was a good one. You could have reused it. If it doesn't break, it's no good. Throw it away."
