Took off my head and found this on my cams
As most of you know I blew a headgasket the other day and was just installing a new one, when I noticed this discolouration on my S2S2 cams. Is this cause for alarm, and if so what should I do to remedy it.
Other misc. pics
Another car I was working on
The old headgasket

LOL, Yeah 1st and 2nd are useless on street tire right now. As you can see i idled out the whole and still smoked them . It was not a full race event so they didn't have any lights up at the end, nor did the have the porttree up. You also have to drive all the way down to turn around. Here is another one of me vs an R32 Skyline http://youtube.com/watch?v=1Nv2ojVDVO8</TD></TR></TABLE>
Mother of God...
I watched that last night, i thought it was some 89 prelude with a satalite dish and a h swap.. Now that i look closer at the tail lights.. skyline eh? Thats stout.
Whats the setup on this car again..

Re: (alterdcreations)
So what else could it be if he isn't over torquing the cam caps and holders? Possibly the oil he is running?
Maybe his torque wrench needs to be recalibrated....

Re: Took off my head and found this on my cams (coojoe59)
its the nitrate coating wearing off. stock honda cams have them,the get over 100,000 miles on them and dont wear off like that. you may wanna get some zinc oil additive. also what oil are you running

Re: (all-mtr-teg)
I don't think people here realize the proper question to ask?
1. Is that wear?
2. Is the dark coating on the cam Nitride? If not what is it?
3. Related to question 2, what material is da cam.
