Looks like several other MK cams that were removed from engines after a short time.

Maybe ground thru the hardening ?

God forbid you say hey maybe Bob screwed up. What makes him so god like? Just curious why some of you deem him untouchable and he can't make mistakes.

I never deemed anyone untouchable nor did I make anyone seem god like.

I remove and install cams all the time and I can tell you that doesn't resemble an 8620 billet cam at all.

Port engine I bet.

My guess is both will look the same. This isn't an anomaly or the first one like this. Quite common actually.
