Ebay Cams- Did I buy scrap metal?

The seller was hoping the buyer would use them at least until the time ran out. The measurements are off too. Tells me they are worn out as well.

Yes, I'm kidding. As far as I know, the only way to correct pitting on cam lobe is to hard weld and regrind. Hardly worth the expense in this case.

Yes indeed - cams and pistons aren't usually worth spit if they are used. I wouldn't suggest paying more than 5% of new price on any used cams or pistons without seeing them in person first......

Carbs are nearly as bad - buying used you should at least half expect them to be junk.

And all used brake master cylinders over 10 years old = scrap bin filler material.

The biggest part of making America great again, would be that folks learn to be honest with one another. If we can't have that anymore, then any sincere effort to achieve that greatness will be vain.

As I say, you can't spit without hitting a scammer. :dry:
