Cam Damage

Small hydraulic roller for an LS street/strip type car. A lifter seized up in a different motor and machined .012 of the lobe. Would using this cam as-is be a terrible idea?

I would not use it but you may be able to get it reground by Bullet or some others.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

I have a cam that’s way too big for the application. So I’ll probably just run that one, lol. I’ll put this one back in the shelf so I can debate it for another project in 10 years.

Bullet just reground my sbc cam for 200.00. This could a good option for your application.
