I will wait until the experts chime in but wanted to know how you got the scope in there to get those images?

It looks normal.

There's no way to tell how many miles are on it, even if that was relevant. Oil change intervals, oil type, how the engine is used (as in stop-n-go, highway miles, etc) play as much a role as overall miles. Probably a bigger role.

But, you can prove this to yourself easily enough. Currently there are 105 used 5.7 hemi cams listed for sale on ebay. Compare your pic to those and you'll see that they pretty much all look like yours. Some a little better, some alot worse.







Some of these guys are on crack though, for what they think they can get out of a used camshaft.

Looks like he had the oil pan off and went in from below.

Hi , all yes the motor is on stand pan was dented so I took off to bump back to shape . Ken is correct, it looks like the rollers are burnished to me look's like larger roller pins in lifters. was eyeballing the mmx ntr nsr mds cam some good reviews on it.

MMX and FRP are the two best places to purchase your complete kits.

I'd recommend that you call either and speak to them about your build so they can put a complete package together for you that incorporates everything you need in one shipment.

I would keep running that engine unless you have a few thousand burning a hole in your pocket to upgrade.

The 30 extra HP would help towing my trailer the cam is 619.00 my only fear is the quality of the lifters in it now ..

I wouldn't install a new cam without replacing the lifters. The MDS delete cam with 30 horse gain from MMX is about $1600 but I am not sure how the tuning aspect works for your year. That may bump up the price depending on the options. The price for their lifters seems high to me though.

yes I though that too so looked around there all about the same or more TSP has a set around 300 but are not oem and yes 1669. + tax . in the pics above the rollers look like they are burnished you can see original grind marks on cam . it is clean as you can see in pic I did nothing to it as far as cleaning it goes . if I new id get 100000 out of the lifters in there id just get the cam 619 dollars .

My $0.02 is run it like it is. 37 more horsepower above 5000 rpm isn't going to help much towing. By their own graph the stock cam makes more torque up to 4000 rpms.

 

[sport2013]

That's a good point it's not just for towing though . my eye's hurt from reading all the post\info . call it 50000 on motor it is on stand taking everything in account . mds delete kit will be right choice and leave room for upgrade cam swap only, and tune / mod's in future if desired . I now have extra 5.7 to build if money allows and need more .

Do Not go cheap or use after market lifters in a hemi,unless you like pulling the heads and replacing lifters on a monthly basis.Cam and lifters aren't somewhere you want to cheap out on.Stick with the OEM lifters even if they make your rear pucker. TSP's lifters have one of the worst reps in the hemi world,about the only lifters with a worse rep are Engine Techs lifters,even Comps lifters suck as far as hemi lifters go.

no was just pointing out that they are not oem
