I had a cam bushing break off and it scratched the xp cam I had install.
Mechanic says its not that bad and that it can be resurfaced or polished.
Its that something practical to do?
Will the cam work all right or will I have problems?

Re: Cam ??

im not sure if it would be wise to resuse the cam. would really depend on how bad it is.
 
Re: Cam ??

If the machine shop says it ok to re-use after being polished out then it should be perfectly fine!
 


Re: Cam ??

If you have the engine out of the car, go ahead and check the rod and main bearings. I didn't do that when I spun my cam bearing and am having to go back and replace the rods and mains, along with new cam bearings again.
