Default Camshaft lobes burnt or messed up?

Hi guys - any words of wisdom on how the lobes on this camshaft look? Should it be replaced or is that discoloration normal wear? See anything else I should get at while there's access / before putting oil pan back on? I dug in for a slave cylinder replace and am now doing everything in sight...


Thanks!

Cam looks fine - discolouration is to be expected.
don't forget to put RTV in the 4 sharp corners.

Thanks Chris - I've been reading about RTV in the corners, do you mean the "outside" corners - or are we talking about where major surfaces meet (the little crevices where the crankshaft protrusion meets the flat side, and the front bolt-on piece meets that flat side surface)...?

Where the flat meets the round.
