I have another LQ4 sitting[drove 10 hours roundtrip Monday it pick up] here ready for my cam,springs and push rods out of my hydrolocked LQ4.

Pulled my cam last night and I found this on only one lobe.It seems like debris is smashed to the surface.


Can this be polished and reused,or do I need a new cam?Also my push rods look good,is their any reason to replace them?

I think a new $380 cam will be worth it.

How did you hydrolock your old engine? Mudding?

Hydrolock story

I would have a machine shop take a look at it, if it's only debris smashed on top and the lobe is still ok, they could probably carefully machine it off and give it a nice little polish.

x2 hope it can be polished, wouldnt hurt to have a shop look at it.

Or maybe comp cams can refurbish it?

Good Luck on Your build!!!

Its hard to determine the depth of the damage but from the looks of that I would say you need a new cam So the push rod looks good. I assume the rollers on the lifter is equally as bad as the cam??? What you going to do with the engine???

If it were mine, I wouldn't even consider re-using that cam, or the lifters.

the only place i would consider putting that cam is in the trash... i would hate to put everything back together then screw up the engine cause i failed to replace a messed up part.
