Well those are better.The rocker I can see looks ok, the other is too dark to make out properly.The cam is scored, it may be that whatever marked the cylinder head lodged there and just scored the cam as it went past. The camcover doesn't really show the same markings so it looks like whatever caused the scoring didn't fly around the journal, may have been a piece of dirt left in the journal when the cam was dropped into place.Pic 3 is of the gearbox bearing surfaces, no idea why you included that as those are roller bearings. They look OK by the way. Pic 4 is worrying, the initial pics of the crank shells disguised the fact they are quite marked, the condition of them is consistent with not changing the oil often enough, hence all the little speckle marks all over the surface, may have been left with very dirty oil in the engine for years which would also do it. The marks though are quite bad, if they are all like that your going to have to fit new shells, sorry. Have you checked the conrod shells yet? Don't mix them up as I've said before.Why is there only me commenting on this guys, come on weigh in with some opinions.
Honnest opinion is replace the lot. cam followers look like crap which means i don't trust the cam; head bearings are worn; looks like one piston had metal bits on the top---possibly a broken ring; the two valves shown on there own look god awfull and pocketed and the shells look dirt contaminated Then the biggest horror story is the red hemetite!!!
There are a few pics that show the rocker cam contact area and at least 2 are done for. The cam also shows some damage that would stop me using it again. Can't really see the shells as they are still coated in oil and are a bit reflective.
Hi Oddjob,I have taken more pictures please see below:and then of the camshaft( let me know if this is the angle you meant)
