DON'T buy a used cam! Plenty of aftermarket cam kits on ebay now cheaper than a new oem cam alone. Plus always replace the exhaust rocker arm as it usually gets scored up also as you've found out. Here's a couple on ebay.Doesn't matter whether it's a Sportsman,Scrambler, 4x4 or 6x6,same cam.http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CAMSHAFT-CAM-SHAFT-Rocker-Arms-Gasket-Kits-SPORTSMAN-500-2X4-4X4-96-12-/231458172644?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35e3fb6ee4&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/POLARIS-BIG-BOSS-500-6X6-CAMSHAFT-CAM-ROCKER-ARM-GEAR-KIT-SET-1998-2002-/251524148877?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a9001ee8d&vxp=mtr
