Well I could only see one of them. Okay I think i might of etched/scratched some of the cam bearings because I think I pulled the cam out at an angle, thus the distro gear touched the bearing(s). Anyways, the scratches don't look too deep IMO. Am I okay here or should I be worried??. I wish I had a digital camera to show you guys.
From what you describe (& me reading something into it), I would say not loose any sleep over this. Cam bearings don't have any overlay that can get "balled up". In fact, until I installed my own cam bearings, every time I had it done by a "shop", I could barely get the cam to turn after installation. This required scrapeing the bearings, which left them pretty "cobby", but they worked fine.
I assume the engine is still in the vehicle & that is why you can't examine all the bearings. Otherwise, use an inspection or dental mirror.
