Only thing I might check is to make sure the top oil oriface is free from rust/debris/whatever...pretty important that oil can go through it, and you don't want any junk going through your oil system.

Those are clean and fine with no rust or discoloration. It is just on the flat surface that rides on the camshaft.

Yes, I have decided to sell. But I am getting grilled about the discoloration.

On the flat surface that rides on the cam lobe. You can see it in this pic. Not all have it, 7 of them are clean 5 have specks of it, and 4 have as much as you see in the pic.

Clean the bottom with some fine steel wool. These things are not made for rocket ships or space shuttles ya know. Clean em up and put em in.
