Option 1 (safe bet): Buy new/upgrade cams and replace followers with DLC followers
Option 2: Polish cams and followers and perform a surface treatment such as WPC on both items. Mark followers to install back in the same location. Swapping new cams and followers later on is not impossible with the engine still in the car.
Option 3: If engine is not coming apart, run till a follower goes flat. Even with some light marks on the cam lobes, some engines have gone another 50k+ before replacement. Playskool1's LSB track car went 200k+ before a follower went flat.

Need advice on followers
Hi guys
Would apreaciate a opinion on followers condition, thay are from my car witch is 100k miles now
More ore less every one looks like this, intake cam is ok, on the exhaust im beggining to see some scoring witch i left at a machine shop to polish out
they are not flatten-no ticking sound. but im in a pickle what to do next. I have shimmed the car 2 years ago in thet time there was no scoring, and from that time ive made maybe 5k miles.
oil pressure was tested this winter after replacing rod bearings and a oil pump piston, and the pressure is on the higher side of the norm
