Used V8 camshaft on wood blocks with two bare cast-iron cylinder…

A used V8 camshaft rests on scrap wood blocks across a workbench, its lobes and bearing journals showing brown heat and oil staining and a helical distributor drive gear at the end. Behind it sits a bare cast-iron cylinder head with its exhaust ports and valve stems exposed, alongside a second head at lower left with rocker studs and retainers still fitted; a pink shop rag and a 09/05/2012 camera date stamp are visible.
