Default Re: Cam clean-up?

I found 3 cams that are still in '49-'53 blocks, so I gotta tear them down. I doubt very much that they will be rusty, as these are some greasy old things down in the valley. One of them has a pan on it with the big circle of bolts around it for a clean-out. The 255 engine is next winter's project so I won't be rushing into it this week. And the one headed flathead on youtube is a really fun thing to see. At these old tractor/hit-n-miss/steam get togethers the crowd is heavy on the octogenarians that love all the old stuff from 'back then'. While the show is primarily about the farm machinery, my tow vehicle is more often than not powered by a flathead V8. Sometimes I have guys two deep listening to and talking about the old flathead V8 in my truck.
