I am not an expert, but I would not use those cam caps as shown. They need to 
be smooth, and they didn't come from the factory like that. Is that from oil 
starvation?

    Man, I cannot catch a break.   ~1200 miles into ownership of a used Subaru 
Legacy GT ('06, ~67k mi) my turbo failed.   That sucked plenty.

  Now, 1500 miles later... spun bearing!  Trying to figure out if I need a new 
long block or could get by with a shortblock or rebuild the one I have.  Please 
look at the attached pictures- the cap in particular.   Toast?

  No cam bearings in these cars, just the alu caps.

  TIA,
  Robert
