The cams are scratched as in they are gouged or just an appearance thing?

I did a similar thing and kept running them, ran fine no issues.

If the cams arent gouged and its just cosmetic they are fine. What you need to check is the line bore of the cam caps and be sure they are still in spec and straight.
