cam bearing ?
cam bearing ? pulled the motor and upon tear down i noticed the cam bearings were a copper/bronze color. No grooves/gouges on any of them and the camshaft looked fine. Is that the stock factory color? Or should they be like main/rod bearings and be like a silvery color?
The silver layer on the cam bearings seem sto be extremely thin and they may show what looks like wear extremely early on. Mine looked worn when i first cammed my car, but so did my buddies whose motor only had 8K on it. Ive not had a problem 50K miles later.

My 00 had discolouration too, lots of copper showing. There have been a few threads including one quoting a guy from HPE Engines who said to check it with a mic as its normal. As long as they are in spec you are good to go. Mine were.
