Solid cam damage diagnosis help
I’ll be pretty surprised if that cam doesn’t end up having excessive taper.
Not to mention, they all appear to be tapered the same way, which is not correct for a SBM.
I’m pretty curious to know whether the lobe taper is actually all in one direction, as it appears to be from the pics....... or if there is another explanation why it looks that way.
There are really only two reasons why it would be ground with the taper all going one way.
1- whoever ground it didn’t know any better
2- they don’t like having to dress the grinding wheel the other way to put the opposite taper in 1/2 the lobes.
