Some manufacturers used some kind of an oil impregnation of cam shafts in production vehicles. It's important not to wash them in strong solvents. SBC ca. 1960-75 used this process that i am aware of and probably in all such Chev engines.

I don't know if Packard used it or not. In any case it would not be applicable to steel cams so i doubt that a steel cam would have been used in production.

My experience with HRM over the many years is to treat it like a Playboy magazine. Look at the pretty pictures but ignore the fluff that is written just to fill up space.
