Default Cam/Cap Wear??

Is this normal wear on the cam caps? When i run my finger nail across, it doesn't catch. If it's not normal, can i get it resurfaced?

i think thats fine,
i was looking under my valvecover today
and I noticed alil of that on one of my cam lobes(sohc)

engine works great.

especially if you cant even feel anything by running ur nail over it,
i'm sure it's fine.

i think you are fine , mine look the same way , it is only the ones next to the cam gears , i think the tension from the belt does that to them

I agree its fine. I could catch my finger nail on in some spots on mine. I buffed it down with a dremel and threw it back together.
