Cam clean-up?
I went up into my attic over the shop last night and retrieved this 8CM cam. I was given a merc engine that had been rebuilt many years ago and overheated badly on the initial drive. 3 or 4 cracks. I used the crank back in the 90s, but the cam was still where I left it. I have since found a std merc 4"er and got it turned. Question: Can I clean this cam up at home with scotchbrite or something? The journals look like they will clean easily, but lobes not so much. I continue to collect parts for a 255 to replace the 221 in my truck based woodie, a Heavy car for sure.
