...exactly how rusty can cams get before they are bolloxed lol my crank has some surface rust but ill get that reground, my cams on the other hand have somehow got quite bad surface rust on the lobes. shall i just admit defeat and class them as scrap now?

Get them cleaned off with some acid or rust remover dip then see what pitting is left.

I think Bilt Hamber has some good stuff.

i know the crank isnt too bad as it was covered in WD40 but since they have gone into work with the car i could coat them in grease from the big tub we have.
