A bit blurred to see critical detail, but first impression is that it looks pretty good judging by the wear patterns.

Apologies. If it’s ok I’ll take some better photos tomorrow when I extract the cam.

Thanks for the initial feed back.

To me they look as new. Why did you take it apart?

Thanks all. Reason for strip...mainly curiosity. It’s been sat in a garage for 40 years and before I ride it hard I need to know what’s in it. To be honest the cam chain and primary are also in great nick.

The cases need painting too. They look absolutely sh£@e.

May be tempted to stop at this stage, but really need to understand how I can sort the cosmetics. Can’t see me putting the entire motor in the oven :-\
