What is the cam damage and Why Do We Use Them?

02 Apr.,2024

 

Had a ticking noise on my 2005 mustang gt.


Pulled the valve cover and found the roller lifter that was the culprit. Replaced it. Now no more tick. All the others looked good. However the far left cam lobe was noticeably scratched (pic attached).

Is this scratched cam lobe enough to warrant new cams? Or does it not matter since this engine uses roller lifters which would just roll right over the scratches anyway?

noob putting together first rack, so in need of some advice. i haven't even used this cam yet but was going through my gear and noticed that one of the wires looks bent. none of my other cams have bends like this. do you think this is safe to climb on?
