What's wrong with this cam bearing?
Hi everyone, I'm in the process of doing my first heads and cam upgrade on my 2005 LS6 CTS-V. When I pulled the cam, I noticed the front bearing looked like the picture below. What's this condition called & is it bad enough to replace the bearing? Can I replace this bearing w/o pulling the engine? The other bearings, deeper in the engine, do not look like this.
(Before I pulled everything apart, I didn't have any indications of anything wrong and the cam itself looks un-scored/good. )

I'm willing to buy the right tool - Lisle 18000 looks like it would work.
from what I'm reading, to install the #1 bearing, I've got to put the guide cone in through the rear of the engine to make sure everything goes in straight. Not sure if that'll happen http://www.lislecorp.com/uploads/ins...6DD9726DB5.pdf
