218/224 XE cam. A little surface rust from sitting in the basement. I think I'll buff it up and install it unless an expert says it would be a problem. What do you think?

 

Just use some emory cloth to clean up the cam journals that ride in the cam bearings. It should be good to go then.

 

Those Scotch-Brite or the green 3M pads from the supermarket are very good (and safe) for what you're doing.

 

Agree NJ..those work well also...

 

Thanks gents. It's going in the car. I took it to work and an old Dodge hotrodder looked at it under a magnifying glass and used a razor on the rust and he said it was good. I'm hesitant to use the green part of the scotch brite sponge though because I know it's abrasive enough to take non-stick off frying pans.

 

Im sure it will work out fine Blue..good luck on everything.

 

Thanks. It's in the car. My dad had a buffing set that I used. Cam looked good. I should have it running tomorrow. I did find out that it's a XFI cam since there is no XE cam with a 113 LSA like is engraved on it. So much the better, more lift.
