Pits should be repaired by a good cam shop like Webcam or Elgin.

Uhh, your questions scare me, as they indicate that you might not completely understand the entire procedure:

"I will be doing a complete valve adj afterwards...do I need to do a cam timing?"

First of all, I'm pretty sure that you will need to at least partially drop the engine. I don't think that you can replace the camshafts without at least gaining a minimum of clearance. Secondly, you will need to remove all of the rockers, which will make a valve adjustment automatic. Thirdly, you definitely need to time the cams.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but the fact that you have asked these questions leads me to believe that you may have a high likelihood of messing up your engine. We have heard of many people who have smashed valves just doing a chain tensioner install. To do a camshaft switch is much more complicated, and offers a great risk to your engine if not performed properly...

This is something that I don't really cover completely in the 101 Book. The new Engine book would be a better resource, as it covers the reassembly of the camshaft sprocket assemblies, and the checking of the alignment of the sprockets. I wouldn't rely on the info in the 101 book alone...
