    Got 5 stock 455 cams. Should I toss them or is there some use or value to them? I know a while back the cam gears were being cut off and reused on cams that had worn gears. Not sure if that is still happening.

    Hey Gary, I need to see what your place looks like....for ideas.:laugh: You must have gone through a lot of stock cams....

    I already made a table with a slick and glass top. 4 cams might just be right for table legs. But....I'm thinking more of a heavy duty use....

    Yeah, I have a picket fence around the barn with them.:Brow:
    I do keep a good one on hand though , when I install cam bearings and the new cam has some drag I double check with the old one to make sure the new cam isn't bent.
