cam bearing wear? Was looking over my engine today while its waiting for parts to come in, its basically a short block atm, saw the rear cam bearing and it had some/a wear mark in it, not grooved or anything but, i heard and rode in the car this engine came out of and ran sounded fine, ill try to get a pic up when i get home, is this normal wear for an engine that has roughly 8k miles?

the darker spots are the wear marks, and there are 2 small scratchs u can barly feel in the 2nd pic
the front bearing looks the same minus the little tiny scratch, are these bad/should be replaced?

Those bearings are fine. Aluminum blocks move around more than cast iron blocks. Tend to see odd cam bearing wear, Completely normal. What would be much more important is the bearing clearances, you need special tools to check them.
