Its on the base circle?
I bet it will be fine @ 0.028" or so

If you want to / decide to throw it away,
I have a lead on someone looking for one of those 0.528" cams.

Agree with Greg. If on base circle, you are good to go most likely. That should be a great cam for 10-10.5:1 or so motor.

Or a great lobe wiper. Not because of your corrosion. There was just a bad bunch of the .528 cams that wiped lobes. But you probably already knew that. I'd take some crocus cloth or similar to it an run it.

It has been run, I do not have any history on it.

There was a batch of .528s that killed oil pump gears too.
