I purchased these used cam shafts from mxhevan found here
viewtopic.php?f=44&t=36147I was just wondering if there is a particular way to clean them. I was thinking non scratch scowrer, some solvent and elbow grease. Would that damage them?

If you want them perfect you should be able to get them acid dipped, it shouldnt cost much at all. Make sure to coat them in a little engine oil when you are finished cleaning.
