Reply to "How does this cam lobe look to you?"

I'd run it. Looks in good shape for an in-service roller cam.

Now, as to what value it is to us ... I'd say none whatsoever (and not calling Mobil or anyone else out; everything is more convincing with a photo than text alone, so they're going to do it because it persuades more people than if you don't).

A single photo of a single service example isn't helpful, it's just illustrative. We'd learn as much from a drawing as a photo. Think of it as an example showing whatever the text is suggesting, nothing more.

It doesn't validate nor invalidate whatever they're proposing is happening; it's just an aid to comprehension of whatever they're trying to convince you of.

Put your hand over the photo, read what they're saying. Does it make sense, or is it just marketing? You decide, then carry on. Rinse, repeat.
