[FOR FREE] SSI 0414 (?) camshaft...free

[pishta]

I have a SSI 041 Mopar LA camshaft and after I vinegar dipped it to chase some rust off it (worked but now its covered in orange patina) I found 3-4 lobe tips had some pitting on them. It may be good core for a regrind or a polish? Free for shipping from 92780

Do you have any specs on it? Curious if it’s a copy of the Pontiac 041 RA cam.

The yellow rust can be avoided by rinsing with water and baking soda mix.

probably not, it may be .414 lift though? Someome with an old PAW ad for its SSI cams could tell you. Anyone with a Hot Rod circa 1990 (production date) that has a PAW 4 page SSI ad in it?

If all the lobes look like the close ups, I'd sling new lifters on it, break it in like new and run hell out of it. It'll be fine.
