Ching my intake gasket and wondered if this was what the lobes were supposed to look like.

Some of the lifters have some blackening on them too.

That is because the lifter is not flat on the face and only a portion of the lifter rides on the cam lobe.


Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks. But: Don't fix it, if it Works!

one more closer shot.

What does that mean, then? is everything okay or is the 282S comp cams a piece of junk anyway?

Not sure what you are seeing to cause concern. I don't see an issue...

the blackness around the lifter and the the wear pattern, I guess. If you say all is well I'll live with the cam for now.

the wear pattern on the lobes look fine. Remember the lobe is tapered--higher on one side than the other, and the lifter faces are slightly crowned, so the lifter acually rides on one side of the lobe (the high side) not the center.

The marks on the sides of the lifter look pretty normal, its not uncommon to get some 'burnishing' almost a scratching, but you shouldn't actually see grooves or any serious scratches (hard to tell from your pics)
