Would you run these S4's in your car?
I have a used set of S4's and they look pretty beat up. I don't think I should run them in my car in this condition but I'm far from an expert. I did talk to a few local shops about them and most of them advised me not to use them in the car. What do you guys think?












Thanks for your time

It depends on the car. how much $$ have you put into this car? Is it your only car? Is it a toy? Only the 1 scored lobe looked bad enough to make me think twice, but if its for fun, who cares. Ha

Thanks for your input guys.

I have enough into the car that I'm kicking myself in the butt for buying used cams. It's not my only car but the engine is fresh and I don't want to screw anything else up.

Yeah, that lobe would probably chew up your rocker over time and you don't want little metal bits going through your motor.

Someone popped a rocker arm off
With them and it nicked it up I've seen it a few times, and have run the cams anyway and haven't had a problem, but it's up to you, the nicks are pretty far over I doubt they would even contact the pad on the rocker arm. There will deffinitly be accelerated wear if it is though..
