If the cam lobe was silver, with no score or scratch marks, its ok.

well.. long story short.. I let this SR sit in a s13 for a year because I didnt register the car..and one day I descided to start the car, and when I did.. i didnt prime the oil pump.. and it started to screech, so I pulled the motor.. and found that the head cam bearing to be really badly err... yea the cam basically ate away at the cam bearing, so i picked up a used Head from a friend, from a good motor, and had it cleaned and redone, and reinstalled everyting including a new oil pump. I just want to ensure all is as it hsould be before I start it. any suggestions?
