oil leaked out from valve cover gasket, didnt find out till a week later, car never overheated, is my head ok.

 

So what's your question? Is it "why does your intake cam have deep scratches in it?" This is the result of over-revving the motor .

 

How bad are the scratches? Are your rocker arms also damaged? What cams are you running?

 

they are deep grooves, i can feel them with my nail. my rockers have small scratches on them also. i am running rs machine stage 3 cams and have rs valve springs and retainers. i got a couple of opinions, one said my head is warped and that is why my cam is scarred.

 

if its only on the intake side check the bearings, or it might be from over reving too!

 

cams dont have bearings

 

the exhaust cam has some scarring also but not as severe as the intake cam

 

The scratches are probably caused by an improperly heat treated camshafts matched with too strong valve spring pressures. Tme to change the cams before you hurt more parts.

 

i am planning on replacing the rockers and cams, do i need to be worried about the head?

 

i am running 11.8:1 compression pistons w/ an 84.5 mm bore in a crv block, i am planning on getting a ctr int cam and a itr exh cam, does anyone recommend different cams with my setup?

 

no, that should be fine
