Just make sure they are free of rust, and i would say put a light coat of oil on them prior to instilation.

check them for pitting and galling and measure them aqgainst your stock cams to see if there is much differance. measure across the lobe and then measure across the base circle and then subtract the two figures and that will be your lift.
