    marks on cam

     



    When I took the cam out of a 283 CSB I noticed that even though the cam was in great shap for the mileage on it, I found these spots. Any ideas on what would cause them?

    It appears that you have some rust pits.

    It looks to me that those rust spots existed prior to installation.
