They look like black spots and and are deep enough to slight catch my nail on them. Any one have any experience with these?
Thanks

Last 4 of part # off the back of cam , sometimes you can get from summit or jegs cheap enough where your just gonna replace it . If its a mark like where the lobe was up , roller was on a film of watery oil and eroded through , it needs a cam .

Only time i have seen that was lack of proper pickling or cam was in a bath of milkshake everything else will actually look decent but a few spots on the cam where the roller was under pressure on a lobe that was pointing up . Sucked worse when the cam cost more than a set of pistons .but the prices seem to have come down on the gm crate grinds
