Hey everyone.


I am working on replacing my 1991 Toyota Previa Engine with a JDM replacement. Before buying, I asked the seller for pictures of the inside of the engine. At first, it looked great!

Once I actually received the engine, i noticed some grit on the camshaft lobes that wasn't coming off with the rub of my finger! It looks like rust!

I mean, the engine looks great otherwise, but you can see some more rust on the cam gears. Sorry for the blurry pictures. Was taken on my phone in a hurry.

Guys, is this a problem, or do you think this engine will be a ok to install? I could use my old cams, but they have 200k miles on them, and they are heavily tarnished, but the engine ran before pulling. What do you guys thing? Thanks!
