Default Can you Wash your Cams??!

I took out my GS-R cams and I'm goin to sell it soon, but they're dirty and covered in Oil. Can I wash them in water and saop to clean it then dry it? Will it affect anything? I would think it won't do nothing bad for the cams..... Will it? Please let me know. Thanks!

Actually, someone else put it in for me for free. I need to Dyno Tune it now, but I BARELY drive my GS-R around. Maybe once every two weeks or so, so I can wait for it to get it tuned.

How are you liking your ITR cams? What about your VAFC? Did you tune your car yet?

I use brake cleaner on pretty much everything. Just spray some on a lint free rag (if you don't want to make a linty mess) and start rubbing and wiping

yup, I always just put a nice coat of oil on cams and rap them in a towel for storage.
