So my cams have been sittin for a couple days and I didn't cover them properly so they have a little rust on them. I tried pb blaster on a rag and muscling it but no luck.

Wondering on the conditions what my best option is.

Use some steel wool and you will be fine then coat them in light oil such as wd40.

Your best/cheapest option would be go to a machine shop and get a polishing belt used for crankshaft polishing. Spray a little wd40 on the crank and attempt to polish it out with a piece of the belt. If there is ANY black spots or pitting throw the cams out and get a new set or it will tear itself apart.

Awesome Ill try that today. My friend was saying my cams are in the worst condition he's ever seen but he's a really mean guy and hasn't seen much of anything just likes to pretend he does..

Imho I don't see how they are that bad other than the minor rust(he said this before the rust had got to it).

Edit,

Crap!! I just realized I forgot to put seal packing in the 2 spots on the block after torqing it down with a cometic gasket and arp studs to 80ft lbs.!!! Should I go back and apply it or will it be ok?

just trow some oil on them the next time and polish the rust off.

U should be fine with the headgasket..just torwue it down after 500 miles...you will be fine...and when metal gets exposed it will have surface rust...just steel wool it and u will be fine...
