Would you run this camshaft?

[j87w]

This is a Tomei camshaft for my SR20DET. The problem lies on the exhaust cam on the opposite end of the cam gear. There is a small chip measuring less than a 1/16" wide and less than an 1/8" long there. Do you see any problems running the camshaft? I dont see a problem because it has no torque on this end of the camshaft. I dont see any reason for it to crack or chip any more. Any ideas or comments? If need be Ill order another one but if it looks fine to run it I think I will. Thanks

should be fine...
metals odd tho, any minor cracks upon impact?

i'd run it....

[j87w]

No, as far as my eye can see there are no cracks or anything. I just dont want to fire it up and the camshaft break and bend valves and ding pistons.

pefectly fine.

The cams I just made over 400 whp with on my car ate a couple rocker arms over their life, polished them back up and still make great power where they are supposed to under some pretty intense stress (HKS had damage , scratches to actual lobes)

Agreed. Plenty of FWD guys have played yahtzee with the Rockers, nicked the cams to hell, and just de burred them....thousands of miles later, still no issues.
