2018 JK Camshaft To Replace or Not
I've got a 2018 JK with the 3.6 Pentastar and ~93k miles. I never intended to get to the camshafts but what started as a radiator replacement turned into a timing cover leak fix and viola here we are. I'm not seeing anything terrible on the camshafts other than the one scoring mark highlighted. Nothing I'm able to feel though. I intend to replace the rockers and lifters while I have it open ($300 is a lot less than new cams) but do these look okay to leave as-is or should I replace while I'm in there. For background - I've had this since new. Been religious about maintenance. No codes but it will have a rough idle at times (already have coils, plugs and injectors for it). I did notice a drivers side valve cover leak and the default oil filter housing leak (both of which will be replaced). I intend to keep this for a lot longer and would be open to an engine swap later on because the body is in great shape. Thoughts?
Scoring? Can't feel it though.
