Well, answer this then!
Here is my story.
I bought a d16y8 (96-00 Ex) cylinder head.
I just finished taking it apart, and found the camshaft bearings to have a good amount of scratches on them. I can feel the scratches if I run my finger nail over them.
The place on the head where the cam bearings touch seem to be scratched much less.
I have no reference to what the bearings should look like.....is that too much damage?
I can post pics if anyone would like to see what I am talking about.
I am getting the runout on the bearings checked soon, and the lobes are still in good shape.
One more thing, I did find some metal shavings in the oil passage of the rocker shafts.
Thanks for all replys!
