292H Comp Cam, reusable?? How to tell.

When deciding about the cam, look at the bottom of the old lifters. They should all be convex when you hold a straight edge across them. If they are flat or dished (concave) throw the cam out.

see post #3. The wear pattern looks fine if one side is shiny, that means its still turning the lifter. If the wear pattern is shiny all across the nose, there is a good chance that the lifter is cupped (convex) or flat, both not good. Cams are cheap, regrinds are cheaper.
