Is that standard wear for supposedly low mileage HKS 4G63t cams (265/272)?

Thanks,

I just pulled the HKS cams out of my Supra and they look similar… mine look a little cleaner, but that might be because they originally came out of JP’s supra which had no miles on it and neither does mine… but all in all, the look fine to me.

They appear to be fine, lobes are clean but the journal could be a tiny bit cleaner…they’ll run fine I’d say.
