We rotated the engine. It rotates easily.

We also got the cylinder head off.

The engine looks pretty clean inside overall, just two areas of concern:

1) The lobes on the camshafts have some corrosion and pitting.

2) One of the cylinders has some light scoring. (Not visible, but will catch a fingernail.)

We're trying to determine what would be the cheapest course of action for each part.

For the camshafts, would it be cheapest to:

-Buy new?
-Buy used?
-Have them welded/reground?

The cylinders can be removed from the engine block. For the cylinders, would it be cheapest to:

-Buy new?
-Buy used?
-Have the existing ones machined?
