It is starting to sound like a used camshaft, no matter how good shape it's in, is not a desirable item unless it comes with the original lifters matched to the proper lobes.


If I had a good used cam I would send it to a cam grinder Like Schneider and have the lobes checked for wear and let them Parkerize the cam and than put the new lifters in.
