I wanted to see what my cam shafts looked like. It does appear that the rough unfinished parts are darker in color.
Mobil1 always keeps a very clean engine, seen it before many times. Pretty spotless.

^^
that Is very impressive.
I feel the need to peer into my valve train for the hell of it & also check again after 6k miles <replacement engine>
and I also like doing it,
its a wear related item/s and a performance .!!
Desmodromic I wish

Yeah your valve bay looks hella clean.
