Question Does this cam bearing look right?

I got my block back today from the machine shop, and i looked it over while drooling, and i noticed that the front and back cam bearings are pushed inward, and i dont remember seeing them that way previously. so heres the picture of the front.

No, no good... the oil port is exposed, you will have an internal oil leak.

doesnt look right, the oil hole in the cam bearing is past the oil passage in the block.

You better find a different machine shop. Why does the bearing look worn?
