No. All other lobes are perfect.

The light refection makes it appear that there are more than one ridge but there is only one. It's there, I can feel it slightly.

I value eveyone's input and appreciate the comments. I am a bit surprised that some say stick it back in and run it. Believe me that's what I prefer to due not because of the cost of a new cam and lifters, but because I will have to do another break in which I hate doing. This break in went great as all the other lobes and lifters look real nice.

I can run it as is and it may very well be ok for tens of thousands of miles........or it can get worse and fail in a thousand miles or maybe a hundred?

I have learned in the past in these instances that if something doesn't look right it probably isn't. I am leaning towards replacing the cam/lifters unless someone wants to talk me out of it
