hi
i have a friend selling used hks 264 cams its slightly rusted ,can i clean it is it ok to buy it .
 
As stated use a scotch bright pad and some mineral spirits. It will come right off as long as its minor. I had a set that did the same thing.
 
its on the lobes nd the bearing area .i will post pics is it ok if i clean it up and use it cause i got a really cheap price on them any advice
 
I have had this experience before, I have used both mineral spirits and WD-40. Either of these with a scotch bright pad and some elbow grease should fix you right up. Once done look for pitting. If there is pitting and you are unsure or quesy about using them take them to a machine shop and ask for a proffesional opinion as if they are multiple and deep enough it could lead to valve train antics that you don't want. Hope this helps. :D
 
here is a PIC BEFORE AND AFTRE

I would finish that up with some finer (gray) scotch briite. The coarse stuff will leave too rough of a finish.

As a general rule when it comes to polishing cams, you don't want to use anything coarser than 600 grit because otherwise you can inadvertently remove too much material.
