Cam gear teeth damage, usable?

Plain and simple, would you use these? Looks like some slight wear on the timing belt side of the teeth. Im not opposed to replacing them for this build if needed.

Thats physical damage from something. Best to find out what it was if you can so you dont repeat it

These came out of a different motor a while ago that had some sort of bearing failure or timing failure. The only thing im using is the cam gears out of that head.

Did some forum searching and decided to use stock cam gears w hks 264/272 for now. Seems like a lot of people were able to drop them in and have good results.

I'd clean them with some dawn soap and water and an old toothbrush. They look reusable to me. Just a good cleaning is all.
The belt should always be new tho.
