Yes, it is safe to drive on, its not an immediate danger by any means. Most I've seen have multiple lobes worn and the car was running good otherwise. But I would replace it within the next 1,000 miles or so. The tapping noise will just get worse and worse as your cam eats itself. Again, be sure to get the matching rocker arms with the new 1990-up cam.
