So what are the opinons on this? Past experiences, success or failures.
I judge cam wear quickly by looking at the lobes to see if the dark phosphate(?) is only worn off of one half of the lobe width. This would indicate the slight taper is still intact and no excessive wear has taken place. Agreed?No problem here. As long as the used cam lobes were indicated and showed no abnormal wear, The other way around ( new cam with used lifters is the absolute no-no).
Excessive commas probably killed it.Some years ago, we rebuilt my son's 350, out of his truck. He wanted a Solid Lifter cam. I told him, I still had my LT-1 cam. It told him, it was used. It looked very good. No weird marks, on any Lobe's. He put it in, with new lifters, and within a couple weeks, it was junk. We had to take, everything back apart, and start over.

So the fact that lifters come new with non flat bottoms, convex slightly, is non sense? You polish used lifters on glass, you get a flat bottom. This one would be in the 'show me' category.Jeez I can't tell you how many times I have done that in my life. I was told by an old mechanic that it was better to put used lifters on a different cam than to use new ones as the new ones with their finish were to aggressive on used cams. He went on to say that to polish the bottoms of the used lifters on glass with 600 sand paper and WD 40, so that how I have done it and have never lost a cam, besides that I am a cheap ass.
Wise-a-guy.Excessive commas probably killed it.
Thank you very-a-much.Wise-a-guy.

Normally comma's save lives. For example:Excessive commas probably killed it.
I agree, correct punctuation is important. By the way, Grandma tasted a little funny.Normally comma's save lives. For example:
Let's eat Grandma!
Means, we're hungry cannibals. Poor Grandma, she was a tough old bird. However, it takes just one comma to save Grandma:
Let's eat, Grandma!
Means we're taking her out to lunch, not having her for lunch.
