The cam I got from Patrick's has "Howard's Cams" on the snout. My cam must have sat on a shelf for awhile. Some of the lobes have slight surface rust. How do I clean this off?
Try some ultra-fine emery cloth, oxide base. Or some fine rubbing compound for polishing car paint. Whatever you do, go slow. You might also take it to your new machine shop, they should be able to clean it up with little effort.
