just wondering since its a roller, I figured there wouldnt be any wear on it..Have a chance to get it cheap but dont want to buy a worn out from something failing camshaft. btw its a ecam
The picture is a little small for me to tell 100%, but I have a few questions....
How many miles are on it?
What kind of rocker arms and ratio were the rocker arms used?
Is it local to you where you could get a micrometer on it?
If not will the current owner do so if you ask?
1. less then 20k
2. no clue
3. no local
4. doubtful
lol, but for cheap I think Ill snag it and have a shop check it out before it goes in.
anywhere where you have 2 metals contacting for an extended period of time you will get wear weather its a flat tappet or a roller. the oil helps keep the roller from damaging the cam lobe but it will still wear over time. if its cheap enough get it and mic it:D
well..the stock cam in my car has gone 200k so I think under 20k will be fine, anyway Ill still have a place check it out most likely.
