Do these Camshaft Bearings Look OK

[66 Sat]

I've finally removed the old camshaft as part of the longest cam change in history, and need some advice on the condition of the cam bearings. Do these look ok or not? They look dodgy to me, especially on an engine that was fully rebuilt with new bearings only 5,000 miles ago, but I haven't seen any before to know what to compare with.
They feel fine, no ridges or anything when I run my fingernail across them, but there is definite discoloration.
Thanks

Looks great from here.
My machinist told me that Big Block Mopars sometimes have cam fitment problems so sometimes it is necessary to create clearance where there isn't enough.

This is a stock 440 cam that I use to cut the bearings to allow proper clearance. I pack the grooves with grease, install and turn slowly in each direction. I remove it, clean it and go again until it spins freely in the block.
If the new cam spins okay already, this is not necessary.
Good luck with the swap!

Well that's a big relief, I was shitting myself thinking I'd have to change them and how to get to the back ones without pulling the engine. Onward and upward!

Look pretty good from here. I have had to "fit" new cam bearings on each "new" motor I built which leaves "spots" on the bearing. Each time I changed cams I double checked that the new cam spun freely in the bearings.

Crazy thought mic bearings and cam journals. Check if in tolerance

Your old cam did the high spot polishing for you. When you install the new cam with lube, I'm sure it will spin nicely and not bind.

It's not the bearing & cam journal dimensions that are the problem, it's the installed alignment and deformation that occurs during installation.
