I know that they offer over-size bearings, but also have been told NOT to worry about it. That it really doesn't matter that much.
Also, I've read TONS of articles about a "Cam Shoot-out" where they just pop multiple cams in and out without a problem.
Just a little concerned about the oil pressure loss at that point.
What do you guys think?

What part looks "touched" the bottom, where the spring pressure is pushing down on the cam??
most cam bearings don't look touched..
todays higher cam lifts and springs pressures push on the cam more , dry start ups.. no or low oil psi will cause the bottom to look worn..
