I wiped out a Comp Cam too.... about 3 yrs. ago. Not only did my bearings look exactly the same, but the oil pump rotors were no better. I had to strip it down, tank it, and manually clean the passages. THEN proceed with machining...parts....money....time.... and tank it again and manually clean it....
And yes, my cam is a ticker too. Noisy SOB.... But ZDDP goes in every oil change. Best piece of mind.
