There aren't any cam bearings. The cams ride in the aluminum journals made into the heads.

The last thing you want, is to throw in new phasers and whatnot, only to have them fail again shortly after, due to all the residual metal filings floating around inside.

Alright so bad news, cams and caps are scratched pretty badly, guess that means new used engine.

Havent pulled the other side yet but I'm expecting the same thing on that side.
