Are cams that have minor rust on them safe to use? Can it just be removed without problems. Anyone with any experience with this please reply.

just scuff it out slowly with WD40 and scotch brite it wont damage it

 

High grit sandpaper should do the trick.

 

Cool, so this wouldn't prevent you guys from buying a cam that looks like this?

 

Steel Wool and your golden.

 

unless you are into the metal and then u are history

 

just dip it in water and let it sit and dry, mayb that would work. jp

 

yeh thats no bigige

 

looks like surface rust, where someone try to clean without relubricating the cam. Looks fine to me.

 

Dude, was this sitting in your garage? I hope this didn't happen while IN the car, if so, you have larger problems, and i wouldn't use the cam. get a micrometer and check all its dimensions if you get the possiblity if you go to a garage. Make sure to double check installation (they have good tips on here if you search).
