They are probably normal looking as weird as that sounds. But a set of durabonds and a cam bearing driver will have you fixed up. A good bearing driver is pretty pricey though. My machine shop charged me like and extra 10 bucks to drive the cam bearings in for me on the last block I had cleaned/checked.

Just take to a machine shop to change bearings, not worth risk of saving a couple bucks.
