And if so is it possible for just one cam love to be worn like that? Because all the other valves looked, and sounded fine even when operating
That stud looks to be pulling out of the head....check the top of the stud height against the ones next to it...

common issue....pull the head and replace studs with screw in ones...any good engine can do the work for you...

Pull the lifter out for that cylinder...it may have chewed up the cam lobe and lifter face....
