B18C Cam caps
Ive been looking and cant find the part number for the cam caps (the stuff in the red circle in the pic) anyone have a part # for it. My head side looks fine, very minimal scoring, but the caps look a bit worse.
You can have the caps milled and then the bores rebored. After that, it would be a good idea to degree the cams. The slightly lower cam axis will add a little rotation to the cam relative to the crank. It's a good idea to degree the cams anyway.
I'd say yes, from what I can see. If you can feel those scratches with your fingernail as you drag it across them, then definitely. If you have a machine shop you can trust, you can ask them as well.

Not if they mill the bottoms of the caps and the cap bosses on the head. It does lower the cams slightly, but that can be compensated for by degreeing the cams, something you should do anyway.
i would lightly clean them up with some wet 2000 grit and then some polish. don't go crazy trying to get every scratch out, chances are they will work fine. then drive it and save your money for the next job!
