Like the title says, I have a head and the cradels the cams ride in are scarred on front three on the exhaust side. This is a head I just bought used because the old one was wrecked. Normally I would buy another head but I have to go back to school so I need this together ASAP. The cams and caps from the old head and are not scarred. So what I'm asking is, if I put this together will it function ok? Or will I just be wrecking my exhaust cam just to have my car stop working in 2 weeks...

Oh I forgot to mention, I already clamped the head down and put on the manifolds and everything, I just noticed this when I was about to put the cams back in. So If I can help it, I would prefer not to take the whole damn thing apart again. I can take pictures if needed.

Edit- never mind, I was just informed by a certified tech that it is unsuable
