are you talking about the cam journals? like when main bearings spin due to lack of oil. please clarify

Re:can anything be done to help my b16 head
 

there really are no bearings in the head. the cams ride in the alum. no oil= cams start digging into head :(

They might be able to be polished... bring to a good machine shop and ask...

if the grooves/wear is bad and it gets polished, the clearances might be out of spec. it's tough to say, but just prepare for the worst.
