Ok well I have more then enough good tools, and have many levels lol
So now I will get *** on gear bang on at 6 o'clock no prob.
All my rollers are in great shape as they roll nice and don't wobble at all.
The towers and tops surface that clamps down have some scaring and also on the cam areas, they are not sharp edges but feel like they are rolls, if you know what I mean. I'll post pics and can those areas get smoothened out, thxs

Ouch. Time has arrived for a hard call. Where are the smart guys when you need them? Perfectionist that I am, I would love to see the reflection of my ugly face in those bearing surfaces - but actually - mine looked about the same as the upper picture. Your front cap (bottom) photo is more troubling. Is that 'gaulding' by your finger there? Can you catch a fingernail on any of those scoring edges. Does it feel rough to run your finger linearly? If so - you _might_ very gingerly burnish rough edges with ultra fine 'emory clouth'. But don't over do that, the colored rings are oil passageways into the camshaft holes that feed phaser chambers. Oil pressure loss out of that upper passageway would effect the phaser's oil pressure balance. (IDK whether that back passageway is -retard or -advance oil passageway. But it doesn't matter. Neither would be good).
Also: Use an exacto knife or similar sharp tool and clean those little 'hair line' passageways that provide oil to the thrust bearing in that cap in your hand. Mine was slightly gaulded on the thrust surface.
Also: I used a strong carb cleaner (B-12 Chemtool) and a Q-tip to clean each of the lash adjuster wells and air to blow out the oil passageways into the lash adjuster wells. IDK how to test or clean lash adjusters. I just replaced them all.
As always - GOOD LUCK ---
