Leganza, camshaft

Post by SinishaS »

I did a peek through the oil-fill opening and noticed that valve-rotators (is that right phrase?) has a radial marks. It's not scratchings, can't feelt it with fingers, just some kind of marks every, say, 1 mm. What is this, and why they occure?

If it isn't a groove in the lobe, don't worry about it. They cam will form some sort of marks due to repeat contact with the lifter.

They're not harmful.
