I am installing a cam in a 08 Ly6 motor and wanted opinions on the condition of these cam bearings. I'm aware the LS motors are notorious for unsightly cam bearing but are generally still ok to run. I think the wear on mine could be excessive. The long block is still assembled on an engine stand. Opinions?

I'd replace them with Durabond cam bearings... (GM bearings are known to wear like yours.)

If they still feel smooth to the touch, I wouldnt be overly worried...but they do seem a little worn.

Thanks for the replies. The bearings have a ridge where the cam journal has worn into the bearing, plus the 2nd bearing has a few chips missing at the edge I ordered some durabond hp cam bearings, gonna try to stick them in with the rotating assembly intact.
