Cleaning a cam?

[I Need $$$]

After searching with no result I have decided to start a new thread. I posted in this section because I figured I would get the best responses. I recently bought an exhaust cam out of a 92 240 but it has some surface rust. I was wondering what the best way to clean it off would be? I was told to soak it in auto trans fluid for like 2 days and then finish cleaning it with a fine grit emory cloth. Just trying to get a few good responses before I do this.

Thank You

it doesnt need to be clean

unless your talking about the lobes, then scrub them real hard and be carful using abrasives, they can change it

hmmmm...perhaps ask a head shop and see what they'd recommend?

Install and run it. Thats basically all you have to do. Just make sure you change the oil relatively quickly:~300 miles, maybe less.

edit: cheap oil is your friend for stuff like this.
